Putting one in South Seattle it will likely burst into flames after a long night. _________________ "There's two things in life you can't take back... Bullets and words.

Most people call 911 when they hear gun shots and scream "Billy's been shot by some dude on the corner of 9th and Plum!"... So unless Billy was shot be a long range sniper... I do not see how this tech is going to benefit? _________________ Dan aka massivedesign Facebook WaGuns.org is on Facebook!

It will not work here either. If the city wants to throw money into a hole... that hole can be my pocket.... or better yet... use it to pay off the city's debt. _________________ There are only two dirty words in the English language.

I can't see any acoustic device like this working in a city environment. Maybe in the wide open spaces where the sound isn't bounced around off buildings a dozen times before being picked up by microphones. I think Massivedesign has hit it spot on. Want to know where the shots came from? Just listen to the 911 calls. As for Rainier Valley, why not just set up some Counter Battery radar. When incoming rounds are detected just send some back. Too bad it only works for the bigger stuff like mortar and artillery fire. _________________ "Yes, making mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep" - Rudyard Kipling "We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." – Winston Churchill "For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother" - William Shakespeare

This system does exactly what we want it to do: It goes after the criminals, without taking away the rights of everyone. If it works, and increases the chances of police catching the scumbags, then I'm in favor of it. _________________ Steve *Leave it cleaner than you found it.*

But at what cost does that effectiveness gets washed out by gluttonous spending? Ultimately, wouldn't it be cheaper, and more productive to put a few more sets of ears on the ground via the way of cops? When reading the Seattle news, I rarely hear of an article about a person found dead from a long passed gunshot wound. _________________ Dan aka massivedesign Facebook WaGuns.org is on Facebook!

I don't know. Maybe. What does a cop cost the city? $150,000 a year, maybe? Include salary, benefits, training, gear, cruiser . . . maybe I'm low. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see more police too. I've read some pretty positive reviews of Shot Spotter in the past. Maybe it doesn't always work well, but apparently it does in some cases. My point is this: In principle, as gun owners, I don't see anything wrong with Shot Spotter. Whether it's more cost-effective than more police . . . that I don't know. _________________ Steve *Leave it cleaner than you found it.*
