Shotspotters are microphones.  They can capture other sounds and it is
not clear how many other sounds and how long those sounds are retained.
 Their use would be less controversial if they were an oracle that just
spit out 4 .40 caliber rounds were fired at the intersection of Grand
and Broadway at 23:12:32 (15 seconds ago) instead of capturing any audio
at all.
