this is neither funny nor appropriate!

Toronto’s. Do you know that ninety percent of the murders for 2019 have been solved? You come here attacking everyone else post but yours have no substance. None at all. Yes originally I did say the sharpshooter technology was a waste of money because most of the shootings that occurred in this country, more specifically New Providence happens in close range and there’s no. Question as to where the shots came from. And secondly I felt it was a waste of money if it was going to be installed and not maintained or not used effectively. Then I also went on to post some of the additional features of the system, like identifying and reporting gunfire without human interaction, identifying the types of weapons being fired and by identifying the direction of the gunfire thus allowing first responders to approach a crime scene in a more safe and secure manner. And as a footnote I did mention the J.F. Kennedy asasination And if you was familiar with the circumstances it was suspected that J F K’s Vice President actually carried out a coup and killed tJFK so that he , Lyndon Johnson could become President. And, in support of the shotspotter technology, I said had it been around then, it would’ve helped prove that based on his location, Lee Harvey Oswald, could not have fired the shots that killed the president. Or your own perusal google ‘the magic bullet that killed J.FK.’ Tha fact that this incident happened many years ago doesn’t make it irrelevant. In fact it may be such incidents that led to the development of the technology.

If shotspotter technology had been available when JF Kennedy was killed in 1963, then the plot may have failed or the outcome may have been different. Reports are that Lee Harvey Oswald a young radical at the time, was tricked into participating in what was supposed to be a fake attempt on the president’s life. He was given a low powered rifle and positioned in a building overlooking the president’s parade route. However after the president was shot and Oswald was arrested, he protested loudly claiming he was innocent and had alibis to prove it. He was shot and killed while under heavy police guard. But now the problem of the gunshot wounds existed as the actual words entered the president from the front of the head and the side of the neck. Based on where Lee Harvey Oswald was located the shots should have been to the back of the head. But the president’s car stopped unexpectedly for a mere two seconds causing the shots to be fired prematurely. Of course once the president was pronounced dead his body was whisked away by the secret service and taken out of Texas without allowing an autopsy to be performed. Some say the corse was later tampered with with artificial wounds being put at the back of the head and the original wounds covered up. Requests were also made for anyone having photos or videos of the incident to turn the in to assist in the investigation. Word is that the video was then edited to eliminate the two seconds stop by the presidents car as well as the wounds to the front of the head. This is considered one of America’s greatest coverups

Well Dames did say that the shotspotter will be tied into the CCTV system that they plan to have up and working. But apparently over 90% of the murders for 2019 have been solved so apparently this country/police/government/citizens have a bigger problem with deterring crime, more specifically murder, than detecting it. Apparently those who commit murder don’t worry about being caught or spending the rest of their life’s (or at least 25 years in Fox Hill Prison. And they are going there at a rate of 50-60 a year, most being under the age of 25. Of course the converse of that is in the next 10-15 years when they will start being released (if a life sentence is equivalent of 25 years). They will be coming into a strange land with little or no friends and family and work skills and ethics that are obsolete. So they may come out to be an additional burden and menace to society.

*In South Africa's Kruger National Park, gunfire locators are being used to prevent rhino poaching*
"In public safety and law enforcement, gunshot location systems are often used in high-crime areas for rapid alerts and awareness into the communications and dispatch center where the alerts are used to direct first responders to the scene of the gunfire, thus increasing arrest rates, improving officer safety, securing witnesses and evidence, and enhancing investigations, as well as in the long run deterring gun crimes, shootings and especially "celebratory gunfire" (the practice of shooting weapons in the air for fun). Gunshot location systems based upon wide-area acoustic surveillance coupled with persistent incident data storage transcends dispatch-only uses because reporting of urban gunfire (via calls to 9-1-1) can be as low as 25%,[3] which means that law enforcement agencies and their crime analysts have incomplete data regarding true activity levels and patterns. With a wide-area acoustic-surveillance-based approach combined with a persistent repository of gunfire activity (i.e., a database), agencies have closer to 100% activity data that can be analyzed for patterns and trends to drive directed patrols and intelligence-led policing.[citation needed] Additional benefits include aiding investigators to find more forensic evidence to solve crimes and provide to prosecutors to strengthen court cases resulting in a higher conviction rate. "

So if you fire a gun, police can come to your house and you cannot say, "It wasn't me." so maybe there are some benefits. Locating guns before they are used in a crime.

Who shot J.F. Kennedy? and why did the US government spend so much time and money trying to collect every photo and video of the incident under the pretense that the photos and videos would be used to help in the investigation?

Question: the police has always maintained that crime in this country is driven by ‘a few prolific offenders who wreak havoc on the rest of society.’ So why is Marvin Dames and others building the police force into a military force that has a more equipped arsenal than the Defense Force?

One of the greatest waste of government money. Technology is really for snipers using high powered weapons and shooting from a distance. How many many in this country fit this category? Most of the shootings here are done at close range and the location of the shooter is not an issue.

If all the revenue streams that are in the pipeline come on stream and government continues to plug the holes that cause revenue loss ( corruption, tax evasion, outright theft) then it may be possible for government to have a surplus budget in the short term. But be mindful that both US and Chinese economies are showing signs of slowing. The price cannot adequately used to measure the economy any more as alternative sources of fuel continues to increase. And the crisis in Venezuela has pushed the price up. Also unnecessary borrowing is a detriment to any economy and not only eats up cash that can be used for other things, but it becomes difficult to pay when the economy slows.

so then is 'greasing of paws' really corruption or a part of the culture.
