Lots of liberal whining about it under the iphone reviews area.


Guaranteed it will be taken off the market.

Right, because White people are supposed to want to go into high-risk, crime-ridden areas. White people are supposed to try new things and stop being so provincial and closed-minded. I suppose mugging is considered a revenue stream in some areas.

Then there was my 1st trip to D.C.

After 9:00 p.m., looking for a 7/11 to buy a lotto ticket.

Was directed “just down that road a bit”.

As I waited for the ticket, I noticed all of the patrons inside, looking at me like I was crazy or something....

Wasn’t there a comedienne a few years ago that mused, “Why doesn’t Google maps have an avoid ghetto route”?

Knowledge of where crimes happen is racist? Sounds like something a defense lawyer who’s looking for more work would say.

Seems like the police should use this app to help them decide where to put MORE COPS.

The only thing you need to know is where Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard is.

Did that in Long Beach one night in the 1990’s coming from the Arena or whatever it’s called.

My wife and I did that in Atlantic City, N.J., several years back. If it's still the way it was back then, my advice is stick to the hotel/casino or the board walk, the adjoining neighborhoods were atrocious.

What ever happened to Microsoft’s “Avoid Ghetto” app?

There is a crime monitoring system available to PDs. I think it was first used in NYC 15 years ago. Bo Dietl used to sell them to PDs.

Would have loved to have had that app when looking for a hotel in Birmingham.

No mention of race anywhere in it. It only shows where the high crime areas in cities are. But libs think it’s racist if people want to avoid high crime areas.

You should have been directed to a guy at the “Rib Tips” market. He can get you on your way......

My wife and I did that in Jacksonville Florida once. The wife was driving. I got the revolver out from under the seat and held it below window level while we found a way out. Turning around wasn’t an option. There were people out and about and taking too much of an interest in us.
