So?
Is that illegal? By lawbreakers - you know they mean speeders. Which you and I are.
But if Waze alerts me to the fact a police officer is 1 mile ahead - like the old CB radios and radar detectors used to do - then HOW is that a credible threat to the police?
Somebody who wanted to use that for an ambush would need to go to the location and hope that the troop had not left, and also that there were no other squad cars at the site. Never put anything totally beyond a nut, yet it would be more dicey for the nut than having a partner who would personally scout the area and provide real time updates. This is perilously close to wanting to ban modern communications.
I didn't say that it was illegal or that it should be illegal. I'm simply disagreeing with your first comment, that "there is no downside".
By lawbreakers - you know they mean speeders. Which you and I are.
What? I don't care what they mean by law breakers. "lawbreakers" are (of course) all people who break the law.

I haven't made any argument about the threat to police officers. And yes Waze is similar to CB's.
