There's not much chance of actually catching the shooter. When the cops get there they'll find a wounded victim or a dead body next to a shell casing. This system will be installed in urban areas where there are already lots of ears. Most of the time somebody will call the cops anyway who will arrived and find the same thing. The only difference is the taxpayers will be paying somebody to do what most people do anyway. It's classic disaster capitalism.

Plus, much like microstamping, it would be incredibly easy to spoof the system for which the taxpayers will also pay. Its a win win for the bloodsuckers who sell and run the system.

I worked for an alarm company in college. False alarms were so bad they started writing tickets for them. Who would get the ticket for these false alarms? It would be a cash cow. And that's not to mention possible abuse of the technology.
