@hope_in_light @mattparlmer The false positive case on this is "two cops waste ten minutes," so unless the false positive rate is so high as to make the system unusable I don't really see why this needs to be rigorously red teamed as though a false positive is some kind of horrifying result.
@mattparlmer did they ever figure out how to stop reporting every loud noise as a gunshot or is the false reporting machine still gospel
It’s actually racist to disable these things because the more marginalized communities are most negatively impacted. Same with Flock Safety. https://twitter.com/rafa_mangual/status/2076466511976284449
