So Gabby are you saying that a person who fires a gun in the city has a
right to privacy that is more important than the community's right to
share that information?
also, if you object to calling the police on people who are shooting guns
in the city, do you have an alternate suggestion or are you volunteering
to do something about it yourself?
for what its worth, i am not suggesting that the data from a system we
build would be sent to only the police, but rather to everyone who wants
to know where and when shots are being fired.

right?
I'm just saying...

If combined with a lightning detector and an acceleromter it could pinpoint

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.

i can't tell if you replied to the list or just privately to me.
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...
