2013, Google acquired it company, along with the app that combines GPS navigation with a social network, for $966.000.000. The application offers real-time traffic guidance and warnings on related topics such as traffic congestion, car accidents, speed bumps, traffic cameras, roadworks, 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.

The executive director of the Fraternal Order Police, Jim Pasco, also said: "I can think of at least 100 ways the application could cause problems for police 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. ”
