Big Brother IS Listening



















This is what domestic spying looks like. Apparently, the man (read FBI) has placed an unspecified number of sensors (read MICROPHONES) to listen for gun shots in WARD 7. In partnership with the MPD (read THE DC MAN) the FBI started this pilot program to help locate and identify crimes with shots fired. These sensors are so good that they are able to determine within a few feet where the gun shots were fired. The program is currently only in WARD 7 but there are plans for it to spread to WARD 5 and 6 with an eventual city wide deployment.

The program, though a little invasive, has successfully been used to apprehend real cold blooded killers, like Lankward Harrington, who murdered a lanscaper who was shot 4 times while high on PCP.














This is a visualization of the four gunshots Lankward Harrington fired into Jose Villatoro. Chilling....
Assholes like Lankward need to be shot or at least disemboweled while fully sober!!!!

I actually thought it was uninvasive & more effective for gun related crimes vs ...cameras. probably cheaper too. Its not recording all sounds, just big bangs. maybe :) but we have to trust.

why I chose 'invasive'?

"These sensors are so good that they are able to determine within a few feet where the gun shots were fired."

Change 'gun shots...' for loud noise and it could easily be seen as invasive.

There's no doubt these gun shot sensors are the lesser of two evils, with regards to sensor v. cameras.

But in the end the sensors drum up images of Winston Smith's face being torn apart by rats, Victory Gin, and Two Minutes of Hate.

What's next thoughtcrime?

how so? They are all outside. And its not any loud noise, its a bang that sets it off. I dont see how bang sounds are private? (not THOSE bang sounds before you say anything lol)
