Isn’t this whole article about shooting though and not drug crime? How would you hear drug crime?

Are shooting crimes known to be fairly evenly distributed across different incomes?

ShotSpotter is recording conversations inside peoples homes and on the street. You can definitionally hear someone making a drug deal or talking about the joint their smoking etc.

I'm reasonably concerned that once recordings exist getting access to them is much easier, especially as police have already heard many conversations taken from these recordings.

Can you point to an example of a ShotSpotter sensor recording a conversation inside somebody's home? That seems unlikely given that these sensors are installed outdoors.

They are installed outdoors, sometimes on top of people's homes.
