Wasn't the city's sniper detector system...um...broken? For at least a short while? Look it up in nexis. And Future-O! You didn't like my story, eh? Ah well...remember, a COSCO ship got busted here in the mid nineties carring something like 2000 small arms (or not-so-small assault guns). The same ordinance we went and got that sniper-scope stuff for....small arms trade is something that hits us here at home too. Bobby. Wasn’t the city’s sniper detector system…um…broken?

Sorry to blast this here but I couldn't locate an email address for you. I’m working on a story about crime in Oakland and how the city has turned to technology to curb a rising tide of violence. Last year, Oakland began using Gun Shot detection technology from Shotspotter Inc., which plants tiny microphones around urban areas to detect and locate shots . Has this technology had any impact overall in your opinion? It would be great to get your thoughts about crime in Oakland and to discuss the city in general. The Journal is expanding its coverage to include more general news, in response I will be writing more about regional crime, including the San Francisco Bay area. I can be reached at 415 765 6112 or via email (Bobby.White@wsj.com). Hope to hear from you soon . . . Thanx Hello,
