“...but the app poses an enormous risk to deputies and police officers. “
How freaking dishonest is that argument and specious to being with?
Solution? Make officers dress in plain clothes and drive unmarked cars from now on.
Maybe I’ll stop when I see their lights, maybe I won’t.
Maybe I’ll assume it’s a bandit and I will flee their intentions.
There isn’t a target on the back of cops and no one wants to see them hurt or killed but, bad people do exist in society and unless you are willing to have officers behave as secret police then there is some risk to being a law enforcement officer.
But, I am given some pause to consider that “correctional facilities” across the land employ men and women who wear a uniform but, are largely unarmed and severely outnumbered.
What of them? Waze isn’t going to help or hurt them in anyway.
These cops hate Waze just as they hated CB radios and later radar detectors.
Silly me, I thought it was criminals who posed a threat to LEOs.
