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.

Please note that the article disagrees with the headline. It states explicitly that there was no request.

In other words, the author feels free to lie to you.

They misnamed the website. It should "mediocre" not "medium."

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 hour ago

Nah, I think Medium works. Just like a psychic, they're full of shit.
