You realize it would be extremely controversial if Sudo was involved in building something that called the police on people, right?
I'm just saying...

If combined with a lightning detector and an acceleromter it could pinpoint lightning, earthquakes and large trucks. Also noise pollution mapping. Also add speakers and you could use it in reverse to get steer cops around oakland like a laggy rc car parade.

that sounds like it would be fun, but it would be more worthwhile if there were a larger goal to be accomplished, ideally with funding.
it wouldn't be trivial - what is the right way to record timestamps onto an audio recording from a GPS? perhaps use one of the two audio channels as a SMPTE timing track? that's kinda ridiculous but there's probably lots of code already written...

what do people think of the shotspotter system installed in oakland?
it's a network of microphones on telephone poles, each with a GPS (for
a precise clock) and a network connection. When a gunshot-like sound is
detected, they send the sound and its precise timing to a central server
that determines the location of the shot, and tells the police to go
there.
some people have expressed concern that the microphones are used to spy on
people, but it would be impossible to hear a conversation from the top of
a telephone pole that wasnt already loud enough to be heard inside nearby
houses (or the phone in your pocket).
apparently the city pays $264,000 per year to keep shotspotter going. I
think sudoroom people could do it for much less if they thought it was a
useful thing. They would be discontinuing it to save money, or perhaps to
avoid having to send cops to do actual work once in a while...
i mean.. sending police toward the gunfire? sounds like a good idea...
