Sharing knowledge and productively growing the field
ShotSpotter creates thousands of unfounded police deployments, fuels unconstitutional stop-and-frisk, and can lead to false arrests.
We have brought a class-action lawsuit against the City of Chicago to end the unconstitutional and discriminatory use of ShotSpotter, and to end unconstitutional ShotSpotter stop-and-frisks. We are also seeking justice for people like Michael Williams, who was falsely accused because of ShotSpotter.
