The system, which relies on an artificial intelligence algorithm and network of microphones to identify gunshots, has been criticized for inaccuracy, racial bias and law enforcement misuse. An Associated Press investigation of the technology, which is used in roughly 140 cities, detailed how a Chicago man was jailed on scant ShotSpotter-generated evidence and later released for insufficient evidence.

"has been criticized for inaccuracy, racial bias and law enforcement misuse"
ReplyDeleteIn other words, shots come from a certain demographic area 99.99% of the time.
Who needs shotSpotter?
Just go to the places where it always happens, BooBoo.

Who cares since it's a bunch of Buckwheats bustin' caps on an equal amount of Stymies.
ReplyDeleteBig , I’m offended by that comment. At least Buckwheat and Stymie had a job and they were funny.
DeleteLet’s just call those others Dindo’s or their preferred name for each other. Lol
Excuse me, I should have announced Algonquin J. Calhouns waistin' George Kingfish Stevens
DeleteSo, a system of microphones listening for loud, sharp, short sounds is racially biased. Okaaaaayyyyy
ReplyDeleteAnything that shows a problem with the problem-children is racist - especially if it's the truth

"Community public safety groups argued that the system sends police officers to predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods"
ReplyDeleteI wonder why.
I can't believe all of you! So Chicago says it is going to discontinue using this system, and you all magically believe what the government just told you!
ReplyDeleteI am astounded and ashamed how easily you all are led, simply because one of the most notoriusly crooked governments told you so. Mike Royko is spinning in his grave...

“Sends police to predominantly black and latino neighborhoods.” Yeah, like it’s whitey who is always shooting up the place. NOT!
ReplyDeleteHow someone used this system to convict someone with all the echoing off buildings and cars is scary. You must have had a brain dead defense attorney. 911 will probably tell you where the shots are that are worth responding to.
ReplyDeleteMayor Johnson didn't get his cut of the contract yet. It will be renewed when he gets his bribe.

Starker here,
ReplyDelete"accelerate the current downward trend in violent crime" " the start of 2024 with a 30% drop in homicides. There were 39 through last week compared with 56 during the same period last year."
Wow, that's huge! But has the weather been the same? A drop is nice but unless you know the cause, it's affect is limited. I tried to find how Philly is doing this year but couldn't find it.
