Senator Schumer wants Google and Apple to remove apps taht alert users to locations of DUI checkpoints

Quote:

Google and Apple are under pressure from Senator Charles Schumer to remove smartphone apps that alert users to the locations of nearby police DUI checkpoints. These apps typically use your device’s GPS capabilities to alert you to nearby speed traps, red light traffic cameras, and DUI checkpoints from a database of user-generated locations.

I post on trapster when I'm working all the time. Pudge and I got into a thread about it on an Android forum.

Yep.

I think the effort is respectable, but don't sweat it.

We advertise where checkpoints will be here, plus have outer perimeter units to look for those obviously dodging the checkpoints. Still manage to get them. Keep the app going, we don't mind.
