Bop Spotter: “a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s solar powered, and the mic is pointed down at the street below”

    I have no issue with the stealth part given that it can only recognise audio which is already publicly available. If you don’t want people to know what you’re listening to, just don’t play it loudly in public.

    This project also wouldn’t be possible if people were aware of it (it would just be gamed and certainly removed).
