And while we're discussing it, 80% of people carrying cash are not drug smugglers, and 80% of people using Waze to watch for traffic cops are not cop-killers. Are we seeing a trend here?
Almost everyone in the U.S. drives and everyone who drives hates getting traffic tickets. I thought allegations/criticisms like these only really worked when you could separate the users into some group identified as "other".
From the article: Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck complained in a letter to Google's chief executive on Dec. 30 that Waze could be "misused by those with criminal intent to endanger police officers and the community."
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
The obvious conclusion being that the feature must be removed (obvious to a certain Orange country sheriff at least). http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2015/01/28/382013185/off...
I don't know if that makes really sense but it's much less outrageous than what the OP implied.
It does sound silly, as cops are not hard to find. I seriously doubt a would be cop killer needs to consult an app when looking for a cop to kill.
IIRC they even have a common phone number to summon them.
Are you trying to get a government job as propagandist and fear-monger?
