    Doesn’t make any sense anyway. If I’m Whitey McWhiterson (I am, but if) and I want law enforcement protecting me and not minorities, I’d want this deployed in my neighborhood, right? Or is the false positive rate too high?

      Not only is the false positive rate way too high, they’ve caught the company working with law enforcement to retroactively add fake data points to support raids and arrests.

      I’ll preface this by saying I have no idea how the system works, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I have an old motorcycle that will occasionally get in a mood where it doesn’t want to start. If I’m not in a rush, I’ll let it sit a few minutes between tries, but if I have somewhere to be, I’ll keep fighting with it and keep cranking the starter, which often leads to a massive backfire. I’ve made neighbors think someone’s shooting before.
