I'm wondering when they're going to break out the radar that the military uses for counter battery fire. Lawrence Livermore proved it can be used to track a bullet. Set it up with some cameras in likely areas and see what shows up.

Yes...serveral areas have set up acoustic recognition systems that can pin point in real time source of indiscriminate gun shots...particularly at new years eve and other celebrations.

The SF bay area had it on last year.

My 12 year old daughter mentioned something like this last night. She said a forensics speaker at her school told the kids that there is a device or a laser or something that can show the track a bullet took. She wondered why the authorities were not using that technique.

those gunfire detector/locator systems suffer from lots of false positives. Usually the authorities rely on the propaganda value to put the fear of getting caught in kids hearts.
