sniper detectors deployed

[rdm6680]

Cities deploy sensors to triangulate origin of any shots fired in city. Interesting.

The red light cameras are known hiding spots for them.

In my paranoid way of thinking with the government being the way it is, the purpose of these detectors is to triangulate on you and me and not the "civilian defense force" (that's the brown shirts--ya know the ACORN/SEIU), per obamacare, that are there to "restore order", should you and I decide we have had enough of this socialist/communist baloney.

"In Long Island’s Nassau County, gun violence was reduced by a whopping 90 percent at the close of this year’s first quarter."

The report makes it sound as if this system is responsible for the 90% reduction...Well pull all the officers off the streets then!

Sounds like more Bull crap statistics!

Now don't get me wrong I'm all for getting the thugs off the streets, but I think the general public is smart enough to understand this 90% crime reduction is crap and with the officer response time in some areas the system will not be as beneficial as intended.

Sounds like a good idea. The only people who wouldn't like it are low life criminals and people who shoot where they're not supposed to be shooting at

Statistics don't lie but liars use statistics.

I guess I don't have a problem with these. My city uses them in "secret" locations hand hopefully they start to work and help catch people using their guns illegally.

LA county has had these forever against gang violence. It has its uses and if im forced to use my gun in defense I may find it useful. My concern is future enhancements of its official use, ie microphone to monitor conversations.

I love how the media is dramatizing the whole thing by referring to this system as a "Sniper Detector". If I'm not mistaken, the system detects gunshots in general and not just ones coming from a guy on a rooftop with a scoped high-powered rifle. Of course "sniper" is a glamour word and we all know how the media likes to glamourize things....

Anyway, as I said in the other thread, after a year of using the system the Broward Sheriff's Office has decided not to keep it. Too many false alarms. Apparently even a loud truck would set it off.

Old Tech, and why does CA, NY need these as they have laws against carrying guns by BG's. Surely the BG's would not ignore the law.

Hate to say it but you made a thread without looking at the thread already made about this.
