yep it do know the full chain of ownership. i agree that i may not or others may not. i get it. just if you are foundy guilty of a crime you committed with a stolen gun then you should get life. is that clear enough?
Will 9mm stop a shot spotter??

The last 2 sentences are clear, but stupid. The rest reads like gibberish.

Suppose the .38 I bought off a dude in a parking lot in Auburn 2 days ago (true story) on an FA10 was stolen, but he neglected to tell me this. My house gets broken into tonight and I commit the crime of brandishing said snubbie at an unarmed intruder in my house. The DA decides to try to make an example of me and charges me with assault. Hell, there are a million other crimes out there that any number of us unknowingly commit on a regular basis. You really want to lock people up for life because the gun they had on them at the time was reported stolen at some point?
How about stolen knives - automatic life in prison? Or is it just guns that are such a threat to public safety that we need mandatory life sentences and other special laws (ie restrictions) on them?

That one is on Harrington Way.
They have been using this in boston for years. It has worked in conjunction with d-bags on gps bracelets. Shotspotter triangulates where a "shot" comes from and they look to see which gang bangers on bracelets were in the area - either to blame - or question as uncredible witnesses. Tall buildings in big cities cause issues with this same as gps signals.
Is the juice worth the squeeze.....no

Good point. A friend of mine purchased a hk usp from a reputable shop in the hookset area. The firearm turned out to be stolen. Hookset police called him, explained the situation and drove to his house to pick it up. Gun store did right by him and gave him a new hk usp and apologized.
I was working on a night crew at a mall in Providence while I was in college there in the 80's. One of the guys had some firecrackers that we lit up. Within 10 minutes cops were swarming the place. They knew pretty quick what we had done but we played dumb and they didn't give us a hard time.
Not sure if the detection system was tied in with the mall or part of a citywide system, but you don't forget having a dozen cops descend on you with guns drawn.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, they are actively working on the technology to allow video from pretty much any camera in a city to be streamed directly to a cruiser. Also to install video camera's everywhere in a city without the huge cost of fiber/ethernet backhaul.

They are currently in development and roll out of their own private LTE network. They have $2 Billion in funding to get started, another $5Billion on the way with additional funds to be raise by charging fees for local police to use the system.
It is going to get worse, NOT better.

Everyone start using these once a day and see how long before they get tired of running out of DD to respond to a false alarm.

I bet there were many fingerprints on those shell casings.

Not hard to find out who the thugs are. Many already have long rap sheets and I doubt any of them file tax returns. It worked with getting Al Capone. Should work with these scum.

Total BS right there - All evidence suggests that individual sensors from the system can be monitored at any time. As these sensors are simply microphones I have an issue with the continous surreptitious recording of audio in pulbic by the government. If I tried that I would be in jail.

Read the above report if you believe the shot spotter can tell the different between a subsonic round and a pyrotechnic with any accuracy in an urban surrounding.
The system saves data from a set time before and after a suspected gunshot so that the audio can be checked for information (people speaking to each other). If the only way to retrieve the audio is by court order through independent evidence (shell casings found or victim report) then the recording would presumably be constitutional.

Right, because jamming someone up for a faulty tax return is a great idea.........
I will just ask that you keep in mind that any .gov intervention you want to be used against criminals can and will be twisted and used for nefarious .gov control application against sovereign citizens.
i listen to the scanner for Worcester a lot and they have had a lot of false hits. The system tell them there were shots , no called in reports and nothing found. Does not sound like it is perfected yet
If you want to PERFECTLY replicate gunfire.. pop bubble wrap.
To the human ear it isn't much of a match, but to the sensing equipment it is a perfect match.
The sensing equipment is looking for a impulse waveform. It basically just listens to everything and is looking for a specific "sharpness" to a rise and fall. A clap would work, obviously fireworks also. Really a lot of noises will set it off. But the bubble wrap comes in a handy rapid fire form factor. The bubble wrap won't be effective over a long distance like an actual gunshot, but if you were looking to be a pain in the ass and cause trouble, find the mics and pop away.
Pretty soon we should be able to get the assault bubble wrap banned.

A FANTASTIC idea! We just need to find a couple businesses around the city, and start nailing 2x4's to the parking lot pavement. That's right, we're making inexpensive car stop bumper things.
Hey, it worked for Al Capone!

ShotSpotter is calibrated with actual firing of rounds of different calibers including a variety of other sounds (fireworks,etc) and a pattern is established for those sounds with the devices installed in that community.
But, identifying those sounds to determine if it was gunfire or something else is done with the human ear.....

Riiiiight... Because the average route car has time to sit around all night at DD in between humping noise complaints and domestics. Maybe a sector Sgt....
So are the Boomerang devices (not specific to their locale). But it's not that simple. Well.. it's actually exactly that simple, but then it gets way more complicated.

Are you sure shooting was in area it covered? It does not cover entire city.
