Bingo, profits they need becuase these same Dem leaders overpromised benefits in exchange for votes.
There are downsides to free presses and to RKBA as well, if you really want to push down that avenue. Absent an actual demonstrated menace, it seems pointless.

You think I'm "pushing down the avenue" to limiting inalienable rights.
LOL.
I. Am. Simply. Responding. To, Somebody. Who. Said. There. Was. No. Downside.
Geez.
“lawbreakers can pinpoint the location of police officers in the field”.
Yes, but only a small percentage who are on active calls, and often they are gone from that location by the time one could ‘pinpoint’ them using the app.

Are you really that dense?
A friend got a ticket in his Camaro the other day. The officer commented that the 2000 Camaro looked brand new. The reply was "every time I drive it one of you badge monkeys gives me a ticket, so it sits in the garage all the time."It hurt the badge monkeys feelings.
Disappointing nonsense from the otherwise admirable Sheriff David Clarke. Waze is fantastic and indispensible. There is no app I use more. Maybe if the police brass stopped making ticket quotas their priority, people wouldn’t be so determined to thwart their efforts.
The big problem police have with this is it is another tool like video cameras that can be used to hold them accountable. How? Say police are accused of something and their defense is that no police officers were near where the ‘something’ took place. Then there’s multiple witnesses on Google pinpointing them to a specific location.
It’s ironic that we live in a time of unprecedented monitoring by the police state yet those very people who would argue that we have no right to privacy would assert a right to privacy of their own.
Wow, CNN suddenly cares about the safety of police officers! Where was that concern when they were stoking the fires of racial hatred to help elected Democrats? Waze? Seriously? Talk about changing the subject! First it’s guns now it’s Waze? What did the assassin use for transportation to get to the police officers? Shouldn’t we find out and ban whatever it ends up being?
CNN is such a bad joke!
Silly me, I thought it was criminals who posed a threat to LEOs.
Strike the word “completely” then.
The locations are unreliable.
Well, you should stop being rational...
LOL
Well Google search also shows where donut shops are located too. Probably far more accurate at locating Barny Fife than Waze is. ;)
Waze is a kind of private free press
That's exactly it.
Perhaps they'd be better off not being tax collectors for the police state.
They have salted Waze before.
Eventually though, they have to do real work and they violate EULA resulting in a suspension of their account, which just happens to be tied to their phone, so it’s pretty pointless for them to do that.
If they want to go back to “Serve and Protect” then Waze can help them do their jobs better, resulting in greater satisfaction of their original imperative
