People bring state and local law enforcement into their lives by breaking the law. |
Shot Spotter + AI + incident report databases + surveillance cameras all combine to identify target rich areas for law enforcement to surge resources to. It will make citizens safer. https://opendata.dc.gov/datasets/DCGIS::shot-spotter-gun-shots/explore?location=38.892424%2C-76.991546%2C13.04&showTable=true |
What makes you even think that. Of course it can replace them. One of the best fields to do so and already in the works worldwide in major countries. Is basically becoming a thing in parts of China now. |
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws". Every single person breaks multiple laws every week, many every day. Most never even realize it. |
I don’t disagree on either point. But, at the end of the day, decisions still need to made about where and how to allocate police resources. But what’s the alternative to using data to make those decisions? Using gut feelings and political pressure? Is that better? |
ShotSpotter is racist. |
The solution is to dismantle and defund the police. We need less so-called "law enforcement," not more. |
| Start with the white collar crimes and there will be plenty of funds for wrap around services |
There is no way. Law enforcement will be one of the last professions standing. I’d love for you to explain how it could happen. |
It can tell what race the person shooting in the street is? |
Because most of the graffiti is gang signs, sometimes they diss each other with tags in someone else’s block. It’s a thing. |
This is just technological cover for more racism and warehousing young black men in these so-called “correctional institutions.” |
If there isn’t more crime they won’t find more crime. That’s how policing works. |
Take a look at where the devices are located in the city. Notice how few there are in NW (none in Georgetown???) and how many there are in Black neighborhoods. |
Again, Shot Spotter detects gunshots on the street. Are you pro-bullets flying through neighborhoods? |
