Has the system always had these protections?

The technology and privacy policies have evolved over time. Up until approximately 2012, police departments had direct access to extended audio and some agencies used that to get auditory evidence of sounds prior to and after a gunshot. Significant new protections have been added so that police no longer have access to extended audio and only are able to hear the short audio snippets that are produced when the system and human reviews believe a sound is a gunshot.
