"Sniper" Detectors .. Listenin' to the street

Coming soon to Middle America.
ShotSpotter, hooked up to the cloud, installed in such free-fire zones as Omaha, NE, will pinpoint "snipers". Brought to you by the Military/Industrial/Homeland Security Complex's usual suspects ...







We never forget who we're working for



Add ShotSpotter gizmos to yer LE shopping list now!

I'd love to see the user interface ... on a hot August weekend in Ghetto USA


Drones are already available with a federally subsidized grant.
Cameras proliferate. Now add microphones.

Rod

Today is day 2 of Rod Blagojevitch's sentencing. I don't remember another case that warranted more than one day. Rod ... to the end, remains an extraordinary poltroon.



Illinoisans elected, then reelected, Rod. Based on his "reformer" platform.
Round these parts, reform usually refers to reforming whose pockets are being lined.

Over the years, a recurring thought would cross my mind.
Are We Really This Stupid?
Sadly, I think prob'ly so.
Cuz, the thought that invisible hands (cough, cellinni, etc.), manipulating a state election,
to emplace a useful tool, who turned out to be too dumb to learn the game, is scary and just too crazy.
