Police could use this to replace "stop-and-frisk", which works, but has been ruled unconstitutional.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't need to Emit in order to detect? If so what are they bombarding your body with?

6.3 - 8 GhZ radio signals through multiple antennas. The maximum band range is 3.3-10 GhZ. They match their inbound signals to pre-programmed weapon profiles. The device can also scan face images to identify specific individuals.

the system intentionally prohibits any features, which could be exploited to invade privacy.
Kinda the whole device in a nutshell wouldn't you say?

That was my thought. They will waste a lot of money on me, since they shouldn't need a smartphone to detect my gun. ;-)

If you could lead people to believe that with a small tweak this could detect illegal immigrants it would be banned in gun-phobic states in a heartbeat.

Considering the fact that it has facial recognition software you could tie it into the federal 'Real ID' database and if someone doesn't appear in it but does appear in the drivers license database (Some states like our neighbor to the west, NM, issue drivers licenses to illegals that are not valid for federal ID purposes) and you should have probable cause to check immigration status...

So could you have a counter emitter that sends the same frequency and blanks out what they are sending?

Attention Tech Companies: In case you didn't notice, the book "1984" is in the fiction section, not the "How To" section. :banghead:

Tech industry is becoming the police state's biggest ally.

I'd say, in public, there is no expectation of privacy. And you regularly sign away your privacy in your own home.

There is an expectation of not being searched without consent or a warrant. Scanning and finding what is in my pockets and under my clothes is not something that is out in public view. I do expect what I have concealed in my pockets and under my close to stay private.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

True, but the government will say it is free to send and receive radio waves.
