Is this a refutation? It doesn't seem to dispute my point. I said, "It looks more like a device police are currently using as a consultant in regards to dangerous situations." What you quoted from the article is merely a promotional example of the technology's capabilities. If your quote had said "Beware flags potentially dangerous situations, predicting and reporting criminal activities or highly suspicious conversations to the user..." then I think it would be a decent refutation. Instead, the article even says, "... the program flags issues and provides a report to the user." That's it. The rest of the article suggests, as I said, "police are currently using it as a consultant in regards to dangerous situations."
