As Tyrone Lyles lay dying from a gunshot wound on an East Oakland street in 2007, he let out a few last words that would ultimately help authorities convict his killer.
“Why you done me like that, Ar?” he pleaded. “Ar, why you do me like that, dude?”
The exchange, which was used in court, was recorded by ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection system that has been installed in over 90 cities across the country. By placing a series of microphones around high-crime neighborhoods, the system is able to pinpoint the location of where a gunshot took place with surprising accuracy, leading to faster response times from police.
This week, 300 of the microphones were activated in Brooklyn and the Bronx as part of a citywide pilot program.

Uh, why does a city that is devoid of guns need a gunshot detection system anyway. We know NYC is okay since the SAFE Act.

Most interesting of all is that it records, which probably means the stuff gets archived and saved, for all of time. Man, the privacy lost in the last twenty years, and the capability to amass data on individuals makes you wonder what it will be like in fifty years.

Idunno, but I can foresee it going the way of “stop and frisk” after some stats have been examined.

Crappy grammar - I can see why he didn’t last.
