SSFB Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/06/-googles-waze-revealing-dwi-checkpoints-nypd.html?fbclid=IwAR3YRiKbqMRfmQdpgmV8uSWK8XtspCiNhIvkjohV2Qjgz8gjejwe7FR3HWE Quote NYPD demands that Google's Waze app stop revealing DWI checkpoints The City of New York Police Department recently sent a letter to Google demanding that its navigation app Waze stop showing drivers where the city's DWI checkpoints are located. Waze is popular among motorists because it lets drivers alert one another about obstacles, traffic, speed traps and more. While this can be great for learning about road closures and other useful information, it often thwarts the law's ability to catch speeders, or, as the NYPD says, drunk drivers. "We demand that Google LLC, upon receipt of this letter, immediately remove this function from the Waze application," acting deputy commissioner of NYPD legal matters Ann Prunty said in her letter to Google. "Further, the NYPD requests that Google take every necessary precaution to ensure that GPS data of NYPD DWI checkpoints, or any other substantially similar data, is not uploaded or posted at a future time on the Waze Mobile application, google.com, Google maps, or any other associated internet/websites, or web portals and platforms under Google LLC's, its partners' sponsors' or affiliates' control." Prunty said sharing DWI checkpoint information is "irresponsible" and "serves to aid impaired and intoxicated drivers to evade checkpoints and encourage reckless driving." When reached for comment, Google did not address this feature specifically, but said "We believe that informing drivers about upcoming speed traps allows them to be more careful and make safer decisions when they're on the road." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Not sure about elsewhere, in NH it's required that they post towns that are running checkpoints in the newspaper and on town websites. Anyone know different in their area? That aside, good for them! 35 minutes ago, Wildboer said: All road checkpoints are a violation of the 4th amendment.
