Not sure what you are insinuating here, but whatever.

I understand that they are located in a place that is most effective for their purpose, which happens to be a place where conversations are less likely to take place.

That wasn't my question though. If I choose to believe that what the company has said is 100% accurate, then I don't really see it as that big of a deal...so it doesn't matter.

not really an article so much as a promotion, show me something independantly verified, preferrably from someone who would be concerned about the same abuse as I am, because it kind of looks like you're nut hugging. Not saying you are, but you're going to great lengths to downplay my concerns and not really showing much.

There is an article in the most recent edition of WIRED magazine about the subject if you wish to purchase it.

Here is an 80 overview of a test of the system: http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/180112.pdf
Keep in mind that this was the previous generation of the system.

Site with quite a few articles about the system: http://www.topix.net/com/shotspotter

Or you could just try Google.

Somebody close down these forums, there's no point in having debates or conversations. One must simply google everything and go do research.
