Disappointing nonsense from the otherwise admirable Sheriff David Clarke. Waze is fantastic and indispensible. There is no app I use more. Maybe if the police brass stopped making ticket quotas their priority, people wouldn’t be so determined to thwart their efforts.
The big problem police have with this is it is another tool like video cameras that can be used to hold them accountable. How? Say police are accused of something and their defense is that no police officers were near where the ‘something’ took place. Then there’s multiple witnesses on Google pinpointing them to a specific location.
It’s ironic that we live in a time of unprecedented monitoring by the police state yet those very people who would argue that we have no right to privacy would assert a right to privacy of their own.
Wow, CNN suddenly cares about the safety of police officers! Where was that concern when they were stoking the fires of racial hatred to help elected Democrats? Waze? Seriously? Talk about changing the subject! First it’s guns now it’s Waze? What did the assassin use for transportation to get to the police officers? Shouldn’t we find out and ban whatever it ends up being?
CNN is such a bad joke!
Well Google search also shows where donut shops are located too. Probably far more accurate at locating Barny Fife than Waze is. ;)
