You know what number is missing from all this?
"One."
As in "one crime solved" or "one shooting prevented" that is verifiably attributable to SpotShotter.
What a waste of resources. But I'm sure somebody's making money. Not that I would imply urban government officials approving such purchases haven't historically exhibited the highest ethical standards...
David,
ReplyDeleteI agree, I live in Rochester NY and our city bought one of these. It was touted as a crime preventer and reducer. Well, several years later the police are using "zero tolerance" with extra police on the streets to "curb violence" No return on investment here! Next up are camera's to be mounted.
