The US Police are accusing her application Waze της Google για το ότι στέλνει ειδοποιήσεις που δείχνουν πότε η αστυνομία-τροχαία βρίσκεται σε κοντινή απόσταση από τον οδηγό και όχι μόνο, αναφέρει η Guardian.
2013, Google acquired it company, along with the app that combines GPS navigation with a social network, for $966.000.000. The app offers free real-time traffic guidance and warnings on relevant topics such as traffic congestion, car accidents, speed bumps, cameras traffic, road works, potholes and unsafe conditions.
Complaints against enforcement were caused by Sergio Kopelev, a deputy sheriff in Southern California, who believes that warnings to the user and indicating police positions are dangerous to the police.
Kopelev said he learned about Waze at the end of last year when his wife started using it.
Fraternal Order of Police executive director Jim Pasco also said: “I can think of at least 100 ways the app could present problems for officers. There is no control over its use. So if you are a criminal and want to rob a bank, you can use your Waze.”
The Julie Mossler spokesperson for the company, says they think very seriously about security issues and that Waze collaborates with New York Police to solve the problem.
