#1 NOTE: "Surveillance Technology Oversight Project Executive director Fox Cahn added that there are privacy concerns around such systems,
which "can often be misused as illegal wiretaps." and ...the system falsely reported fireworks and car backfires are active shooters..."

In a study published in 2021, the MacArthur Justice Center found that 89 percent of alerts that ShotSpotter sends to law enforcement
had no evidence of gun-related crimes. However, ShotSpotter has claimed that its system had a 97 percent accuracy rate.

#8 I was in a city and they had these solar powered device towers w/ microphone clusters setup on the corner. Happened to be a cop on the corner walking his beat. I asked about these device. He admitted, he was bragging, that they were portable gun-shot detecting devices that they were testing.

I thought I had a talker. I asked if the protocol was VOIP? And if they were recording, how long did they keep the recordings. He was not a talker, didnt answer further, and kept his b-line down the street.
