Google also appears to be continually shortening the distance they warn you about police presence on maps/Waze.
They can show me an accident 15 miles ahead on my route, but the cop icon only pops up if you're within line of sight of the damn thing now.
I wonder how long before cops can register their devices to be notified when someone flags police presence at their location on maps and/or allows them to track the location of the device that reported it.
