Shot Spotter

[Raider-3]

How do you guys feel about this gun shot surveillance system? Many cities pay 60,000 dollars a year per square mile for this. I have mixed feelings on it but Im leaning more towards thinking its unnecessary government surveillance and a waste of tax dollars. But Im not quite sure about it.

The television series PERSON OF INTEREST, CBS, Thursdays at 9:00PM comes to mind with what is being discussed here. Who's to say it isn't already modified to snoop on people's private conversations?

I'm thinking the tech ended to pick up speech as opposed to a gun shot would be a lot more expensive. All the shot spotter needs to be looking for is a rapid spike in a Hugh decibel range.

What exactly is the Hugh decibel range?

It's amazing cash straped cities can afford this system. Most are cutting public safety employees to save money. With the restritive gun laws in most large cities no one is aloud to own guns anyway. Why would there be a need.

Because when you're not allowed to own gun's, the BG's will still have them and they will be using them. And yes, I know I am just stating the obvious.

You mean BG's don't obey the law? Who would have thought that? I'm shocked!

If they put a system like this in Detroit I think it would explode from overwork. D.C as well.

I think they have 2 of them in Saginaw. I am a few miles away and shoot in my yard all the time.No police have ever showed up here for it. I dont think they work for for a wide area, just about a mile or so.imho I think it is way over priced for what it is supposed to do.
