Cops want google to disable their police wave tracking feature
police officials aren't too happy with the Google-owned Waze app, which can be used to warn drivers when police are nearby.

At a meeting at a National Sheriffs Association conference earlier this month, sheriffs raised concerns that the app can be used for "stalking" police officers.

Waze, a social traffic app available for iOS, Android and Windows devices, allows users to report on traffic jams, accidents and other commute problems. Users can also report the location of police officers and radar-based speed traps, which are highlighted with a police-officer icon on a map.
what interested me about this app is how easily it can be for a criminal to get away with crime.
