ShotSpotter Technology Another controversial technological advancement has been police departments’ adoption of ShotSpotter technology across the county. ShotSpotter is a sophisticated surveillance system that detects gunshots and pinpoints the location of the gunshots. Once the system’s microphones detect sounds of gunfire, it sends the audio file to the ShotSpotter Review Center where it will be determined whether the sound was indeed gunfire. If it is determined that the sound is gunfire, ShotSpotter notifies the local police department. In favor of the use of ShotSpotter, you are provided with a case, United States v. Rickmon, and the oral arguments, in which the majority of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals held that a ShotSpotter alert could be used to create reasonable suspicion. There also is a dissenting judge in the Rickmon case. You also are provided with an interview with the president of the company that devised ShotSpotter. Concerns also have been raised about the use of ShotSpotter technology. To support this position, you are provided with an article that questions the use of ShotSpotter and its effectiveness, and Chief Judge Wood’s dissenting opinion in the United States v. Rickmon case. In the article, Mr. Goodman also questions the United States v. Rickmon opinion and raises several concerns about the ShotSpotter technology. Read these documents and listen to the oral arguments, and then write an argumentative essay explaining your position on the issue of whether ShotSpotter technology is an effective tool that law enforcement should use and whether it should be used to create reasonable suspicion for an investigatory stop, also known as a Terry stop.
