   Just 'cause it's watching you, doesn't necessarily mean your privacy is being invaded.
   If you're out in public, someone could be watching you, listening in on your conversations anyway. But even beyond that, technology has one interesting ability people just don't always have: the ability to forget on demand.
   Furthermore, the process has to be fully automated, or no one will respond, simply because there's not enough time and/or money.

   Deliberate False Positives

   If a surveillance system automatically notified police how long do you think it would be before bored teens figured out how to set it off, over and over again, therefore making it ignored, much like the guy down the street's car alarm

   agression is against the law?

   

   Nobody Special, Nov 22nd, 2006 @ 8:20pm

   
   

   The problem I see is to alert Police any time aggression or violence in the voice is detected. Hello, it is not a crime to be voice aggression. And as long as you don't threaten someone you can have violence in your voice.
   
   The real problem is thus: this is an attempt to regulate behavior before it happens. And while there is plenty to be said about watching those who are headed in the direction of trouble, police are not the ones to be involved at the sound of trouble.

   Why don't they couple that with facial recognition, eye movement and hand gestures. Flipping someone off on the freeway it triggers the satelite to contact you via cell phone (since everyone has one) If you don't comply, they shut off your phone service and your Sirius satellite radio until you attend anger management. I'll just die without my cell phone because I love to talk, and put on my make up listen to Howard Stern and drive with my knee at the same time.

   So the GOVERNMENT gets to just shut off cell phone and radio service to whomever it wishes if they're too angry? Or did Verizon and Sirius suddenly get really, really altruistic and decide that they can't have angry customers, even if they keep the money flowing to their pockets? Even though it'll affect the type of asshole you described, that's still against basic privacy rights, and is just paving the path to Big Brother more and more.
   
   I'd be really freaked out if they coupled it with facial recognition. Start storing the faces of people who seem to be pissed off and schedule them for "anger management"? That's straight out of Orwell.

   So if you was in a flock of criminals

   You could tell your flock to go to the area where the voice nazi machine is and tell your flock to start screaming at each other or play some rap music while you are busy boosting the local jewelry store.
   
   The voice nazis would come after the ones making the noise right.

    Another Reason Not To Raise Your Voice In Public

    

    Rodney R Rollins, Nov 27th, 2006 @ 6:30am

    
    

    This weekend in New York a man was shot to death and two others wounded, one critically in a hail of at least fifty bullets because, according to our police commissioner the officers thought they over heard something about a gun... They were unarmed... We can all do without this device... By the way the dead man was scheduled to be married this past Saturday...
