The Shot Spotter system used by Minneapolis Police combines a surveillance camera with a sound sensor that detects and pinpoints gunfire up to two miles away.

I would hate to be a CCW'er in this area , What would happen if a shot was detecetd and you and a few CCW friends were passing near the area , Who are they going to consider guilty ? And how long do i get detained until they figure out what going on ?

never thought about that but it is pretty easy to tell if a gun has just been shot

I'm all for new technology that helps catch people who are actually breaking the law instead of more new restrictions that only affect law-abiding citizens.

The system uses sound sensors hooked to computers to triangulate the shooters location. If it is working right it should locate the position within a few feet. If you are that close and carrying you are probably involved.

I don't know about a few feet. It would all depend on how far away the sensors are located and the terrain of the area. I would guess that it is good within a few city blocks but then again depends on the terrain and the area they are installed at.
