Quote of the Day
“I’m concerned that this flawed, ineffective technology subsidized by the federal government is exacerbating racial bias in policing and could violate civil rights law,” Warren said in an email. “This tool is disproportionately deployed in Black and Brown communities, which raises alarms about unjustified surveillance and over-policing in communities of color.”
Massachusetts’ US senators are calling for a federal probe of ShotSpotter amid new scrutiny of the gunshot detection tool, used by police in cities across the state and country with the aim of speeding response times to shootings.
