Jesus fucking Christ if the software company is able to use that excuse and win the lawsuit, they might as well just sell literally nothing and rake in the millions. What arbitrary distance is good enough to detect the gun, then? And what if someone, I don't know, tapes a shark fin to the top? Is that gonna fuck it up, too? Even from like 2 feet away?

What's wrong with that response? The technology isn't magic. It works within certain parameters, it cen't detect a gun for a single pixel in the camera.

The question really is whether they misrepresented the capabilities, as the lawsuit alleges

According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Davidson County court last month, the security company Omnilert either knew or should have known that there were “significant operational limitations in its gun detection system that could result in detection failures during actual emergencies, including limitations based on camera placement, proximity of the weapon to camera sensors, camera angle, lighting, and weapon visibility.”
