"Boston city councilors, law enforcement officials, and community
leaders are pressing City Hall to come up with $1.5 million to buy a
promising acoustic gunshot-detection system.

The sensor system could blanket a 5.6-square-mile swath of the city's most
dangerous neighborhoods -- the source of 80 to 85 percent of calls citywide
reporting shots fired -- and give officers a jump on arresting suspects,
improve police response time to 911 calls, and possibly reduce firearm
violence, proponents say."

"NEW ORLEANS (AP) - With at least eight slayings in the city in the
first week of the new year, officials are considering a curfew to help stem
the violence, the police superintendent said Saturday."

Guess what?  Most of the civilised world doesn't want to live like this.
