Mayor Bloomberg announced that the NYPD was going to create a footwear database to quickly decode shoe treads and people's walking patterns. Go to the Post article for the info, as well as all the predictable puns about gumshoes, shoe-ins, soles, etc.




NYPD Database entries so far:
Nike Air Force Ones = Arrest for no season. Remember to perform illegal search.
Vintage Converse = Hipsters. Beat on Sight. Take Bribe from Trust fund.
New Balance = White joggers. Release immediately.
*reason* blah
walk with a slight limp. I hope there is no discrimnation for odd walkers like myself. why must the NYPD be so intrusive into our lives? my feet are also not equal in size. they are a bit malformed and one foot is larger than the other. This will disapoint those surveyors!!! For sure!!!
Let our feet walk in peace!!! I promise to not wear unstylish shoes, at least!!!!
Law & Order: Special Podiatry Unit
It's about time the NYPD got its act together. If this was done back in the early nineties then OJ would have been found guilty in the Tate/LaBianca murders.
He suffocates too? Dude's a multitasker.
There are too many shoes out there for this to be something easy to keep updated. Have fun wasting our tax dollars.

It's way past time for Bloomberg to be put out to pasture.
These Bloomberg ads are nauseating...
unbelievable.
just like the ballistic fingerprinting "science" or micro stamping bullets.
keyser soze science.
I wonder who's making money off this bunk.
i know the FBI uses the zappos.com database for their shoe tread analysis.
