The US Police blames Google's Waze app for sending alerts showing when the police-traffic police are in close proximity to the driver and not only, says Guardian.
2013, Google acquired it company, along with the app that combines GPS navigation with a social network, for $966.000.000. The application offers free καθοδήγηση κυκλοφορίας σε πραγματικό χρόνο και προειδοποιήσεις για σχετικά θέματα, όπως κυκλοφοριακή συμφόρηση, ατυχήματα αυτοκινήτων, ενέδρες speedq, 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 late last year when his wife started using it uses.
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. ”
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.
