Description: The NYPD is taking aim at Google and its Wave navigation app for warning motorists about police DWI checkpoints, speed traps, and red-light cameras. Police consider this crowd-sourced feature to be "irresponsible and dangerous" because it could help unsafe or drunken drivers avoid cops, according to a letter the NYPD sent to Google this week.
