Police think Waze's traffic app puts officers in danger

You may use Google's Waze app primarily to avoid traffic jams and watch out for speed cameras, but some American police see it as threat -- and they want Google to do something about it. Officers speaking to the Associated Press believe that Waze's police finding feature, which is mainly meant to warn about speed traps, makes it too easy for would-be cop killers to find targets. These critics hope to muster support from law enforcement groups and push Google into disabling the feature so that it's not relatively trivial to "stalk" uniformed people from a phone.

The Waze team says only that that it's concerned about police safety and shares information with departments worldwide. However, there's a good chance that Google won't have much to worry about, at least not in the short term. The app is based on crowdsourced data, and usually shows only those officers that drivers see parked on the roadside or otherwise making a very public display. It's hard to argue that everyday Americans aren't allowed to tell each other about cops that are in plain sight.

There are also questions about effectiveness. Waze's data doesn't represent an authoritative map of law enforcement activity, and there's no certainty that removing info would do anything to keep cops safe. In the case of the December shooting of two New York City officers, the killer tossed his cellphone two miles before he reached the scene of the crime -- censoring Waze won't stop people determined to attack any police they see.

Something Different

Today, I rediscovered my love for touching and feeling real books. Ebooks have become an everyday part of my life since college, mainly for the convenience and free space in my beloved backpacks. Call it nostalgia, but I feel like a child agaiin when I pick a book. I took a trip to Barnes & Noble and found a book/journal by the name of 300 Writing Prompts on their bargain racks and decided to take the plunge. I have not been the best about updating this site regularly as of late, but that is changing. I have decided that I will add a Daily Prompt section as begin adding new stories and photographs.

California woman gets ticket for driving with Google Glass A Google Glass Explorer named Cecilia Abadie ran afoul of the California Highway Patrol last night, and came away with a ticket for distracted driving. Her Google Glass, which the officer saw as equivalent to driving with a TV screen blocking her view. The consequences for Abadie are likely to be minor, but the incident raises lingering questions about the legal status of Glass on the road at a time when the device is moving ever closer to mainstream use. The main item on the ticket is for speeding, so it seems likely Abadie wasn't pulled over specifically for wearing Glass, but it's a sign of how far many institutions still have to go before they're willing to accept everyday use.
