ShotSpotter requests to be held in contempt rather than disclose its methodology
(Not the OP) For background, this is the company that supposedly locates gunshot sounds in cities (and sometimes battlefields) by microphone triangulation. It doesn't work all that well and is selectively deployed in minority areas and is used by police to selectively enforce crimes, sometimes also altering the evidence. Vice did a few articles on them and the company tried to sue but had it tossed out. Shady all around.<p><a href="https://www.vice.com/en/topic/shotspotter" rel="nofollow">https://www.vice.com/en/topic/shotspotter</a><p><a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2022/07/08/judge-tosses-defamation-suit-brought-by-shotspotter-against-vice-media-for-reporting-on-its-shady-tactics/" rel="nofollow">https://www.techdirt.com/2022/07/08/judge-tosses-defamation-...</a>
