The Police of USA κατηγορεί την εφαρμογή Waze της Google για το ότι στέλνει ειδοποιήσεις που δείχνουν πότε η police-traffic is in close proximity to the driver and beyond, reports the 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 alerts on relevant 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. ”
Julie Mossler, the representative of the company, says that they are thinking about the issues very seriously security and that the Waze collaborates with New York Police to solve the problem.
