    This headline should be followed by the statement “but Congress will soon weigh in.”

    A new survey shows the controversial systems are poised to play an even bigger role in federal business.

    One way to get data to conduct social network analysis is to fund those companies at the outset and then lock in the data streams. Something to watch. Palantir invested $25 million in Faraday Future - The Verge

    Anyone have the transcripts or pleadings from the various Frye hearings etc. that convinced judges to let the data in as expert evidence? Any case names?

    NEW: How does get to its 97% accuracy rate? Because CPD only ever categorizes the alerts as either a single shot, multiple shots, or "probably" a gunshot. That's right, "probably a gunshot" is considered "accurate" Docs:

    It’s like watching a corporate version of predictive policing but for targeting the poor. In retrospect, Target might need a different name.

    Wait what.

    This ⁦⁩ analysis links Shotspotter to similar 4th Amendment problems with predictive policing. Notable that police used the aggregate Shotspotter info in their reports. We went a decade with police not mentioning in reports.

    This is a solid summary of the problems with Shotspotter in Chicago. It should be a warning to police tech companies about what happens when you don’t proactively address the foreseeable racial justice/civil liberties impacts of the tech.

    But… there may well be way too many gunshots in Chicago, and Shotspotter may be picking up that reality. The problem comes in trying to operationalize police strategy based on data without thinking though the impacts. Big Data policing needs to think through the impacts.

    Two important notes on this IG report. First, there does not seem to be value in Shotspotter as an investigative technology (to arrest individuals with guns). Second, despite this reality, the presence of gunshot detection primes officers to perceive the area as dangerous. But…

    Funny how every time there is an IG report on big data policing, the IG finds it doesn’t work as promised and negativity alters policing. Maybe we should be doing this due diligence before rolling out . Worth reading .

    Confused about the first few days of law school? It’s okay. Just realize there is a “law” of law school and you can master the game.

    Not good… but also not so different from our own AI predictive policing hype.

    There should be a charity set up that collects the author/book royalty checks that are so insultingly small that it would be better not to receive them. Collectively maybe there is money for good in the humiliating sadness of paltry book royalties.

    Leadership from around prosecutorial role, fairness, and how progressive prosecutors can change long-standing criminal practice.

    En respuesta a @davidminpdx
    Prosecutors, wishing to strike someone from a jury pool, should be able to articulate a reason for believing the person is biased or can’t be impartial. Naked peremptory strikes tend to produce juries that are not representative of a fair cross section of the community.
