Sheriffs are campaigning to pressure Google Inc. to turn off a feature on its Waze traffic software that warns drivers when police are nearby. They say one of the technology industry's most popular mobile apps could put officers' lives in danger from would-be police killers who can find where their targets are parked.

Waze, which Google purchased for $966 million in 2013, is a combination of GPS navigation and social networking. Fifty million users in 200 countries turn to the free service for real-time traffic guidance and warnings about nearby congestion, car accidents, speed traps or traffic cameras, construction zones, potholes, stalled vehicles or unsafe weather conditions.

To Sergio Kopelev, a reserve deputy sheriff in Southern California, Waze is also a stalking app for law enforcement.

There are no known connections between any attack on police and Waze, but law enforcers such as Kopelev are concerned it's only a matter of time. They are seeking support among other law enforcement trade groups to pressure Google to disable the police-reporting function. The emerging policy debate places Google again at the center of an ongoing global debate about public safety, consumer rights and privacy.

Waze users mark police presence on maps without much distinction other than "visible" or "hidden." Users see a police icon, but it's not immediately clear whether police are there for a speed trap, a sobriety check or a lunch break. The police generally are operating in public spaces.

Cops in SoCal seem to think so...

I think it's less to do with an imminent thread of stalking the officers and more to do with them catching less people out for speeding <_<

cops actively try to give speeding tickets so I'm going to do the right thing and actively give out their hiding spots

No it's not.  No one's even used the app to find cops to kill and that's because it's unnecessary.

Depends on the state. IIRC quotas are illegal in California and the money from fines doesn't even go back into the police departments to take away any sort of incentive that the police might have for writing up tickets.

isn't there an app that allows people to listen in on the police radio? I remember downloading it during the Boston bombings

Probably. Some police channels aren't blocked. My local PD's is, though, so I couldn't try it even if I wanted to.

Quotas are illegal everywhere (I think), but so is cheating in professional sports.

Why?

Because people can abuse this. Plus cop killers like it said in the article.

And no one should be tracked like that.

I've got plenty of friends who post warnings about cops sitting places or checkpoints on facebook. Should we ban facebook too?
