It is more than a suggestion, I'm shocked ! While the police forces are searching a cop killer in Var (French riviera) today, Waze shows where they are... Stop supporting road offences and runaway criminals.

Par les temps difficiles en France et ailleurs, pourquoi ne pas désactiver les signalements police ?
Afin de ne pas aider les fugitifs

Nice idea, but people will simply use the standard police indicator.

Please remove the option to report hidden police vehicles. Reporting visible police vehicles being used to close lanes of traffic, etc. make sense to be something to warn motorists about, but warning about hidden police vehicles makes no sense. If the vehicles are "hidden", then the idea is probably that public safety wants to observe the way vehicles are operated when people don't know they are being seen. Having reports of such things just seems to waste taxpayer money being spent by allowing Wazers in stolen vehicles, with arrest warrants, or otherwise in violation of laws to avoid detection. Unless Waze has plans to compensate the victims of criminals or traffic violators who avoided detection via Waze, their abetment is irresponsible.

The " police report " should be removed . Certainly criminals use these alerts to divert possible police blockades .

First, it is NOT a crime to report the location of an officer. If you think it is, you need to read up a bit on "public domain".
Second, the feature is handy for multiple reasons.
1) to allow drivers to move over into one of the lanes to the left because the "police report" may be that one has someone stopped and many states have "Move Over" laws.
2) the reaction of many drivers when seeing a cop is to slam on the brakes. Knowing ahead of time allows you to position yourself to allow for bad reactions from other drivers, like those speeding who may be hauling something that does not react well to having the brakes slammed on.

As prior law enforcement, I have no problem with the issue. Many times, sitting on the side of the road was just a deterrent and having people slow down because I was there was simply the point. It had the affect I intended so what do I care. Hell, in my area, half the departments even announce on the news where they were having speed traps set up that morning. It's simply a deterrent.

Waze is a great app, and I especially value the feature to warn others of hazard along the way. But the Police are a hazard!
This feature does not only help speeders to avoid speed traps, but also help dunk drivers to avoid the capture, allowing them to drive on and potentially killing someone further along.

Helping speeders, dunk drivers and maybe even wanted criminals to avoid the police is not making the roads safer.
I hope you agree, and remove this feature in future updates.

In light of all the killings of cops, I would recommend that Waze remove the ability to report where cops are stationed at.

Please sop identifying Police locations!!! Let's keep our Police Officers SAFE!

WAZE, PLEASE PROVIDE ▪MOAR▪ DETAILED INFORMATION TO COMMUTERS

WAZE NEEDS TO SHOW MOVING SHERIFFS, TRAVELLING POLICE, MOVING HIGHWAY PATROL TO INCREASE THE SAFETY OF THOSE THEY SERVE.

SHOW DIRECTION, VELOCITY, ACCELERATION, FREQUENCY, HEAT MAP, COLOR CODED AGING OF ALERT, CREDIBILTY, DISALLOW REMOVAL BY THOSE WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY WHO ARE STATIONARY, DISALLOW REMOVAL OF OTHER ALERTS BY THOSE RESPECTIVELY STATIONARY NEAR OTHER [RECENTLY] ACTIVE ALERTS, DISALLOW REMOVAL BY THOSE WHO ONLY MARK NOT-THERE, GRANT HIGHER CONFIDENCE TO FASTER THAN HERD COMMUTERS, PROVIDE ETA BASED ON WHICH PERCENTILE GROUP OF COMMUTER, TIE TRAFFIC ALERTS TO MARKED POLICE FOR BETTER ESTIMATION OF DISSIPATION (WITH COLOR CODING).

○ SHERIFFS ARE IN CONSPICUOUS VEHICLES IN HIGH CONTRAST BLACK & WHITE

○ SHERIFFS WEAR UNIFORMS TO STAND OUT FROM EVERYONE ELSE

○ FINDING SHERIFFS WITHOUT WAZE IS NOT DIFFICULT

THESE HIGH VISIBILITY VEHICLES INSPIRE PANIC IN HAND-TO-MOUTH COMMUTERS OFT RESULTING IN

• UNEXPECTED BREAKING

• TRULY RECKLESS BEHAVIOR

• SLOWING WITHOUT BREAK LIGHTS

• RUBBER-NECKING CAUSED MASS DELAYS INCREASING RISK OF REAR-ENDINGS

SHERIFFS DRIVING BOTH SLOWER THAN THE HERD & SLOWER THAN OUTDATED POSTED LIMITS BENEFIT NO ONE, OBSTRUCT COMMERCE.

THESE FACETIOUS REQUESTS TO CENSOR MAP INFORMATION IS INANITY & UNAMERICAN. CURRENTLY SHERIFF ASSOCIATION IS THE WHINE FESTIVAL.

♢ CRIMINALS INTENT ON HARMING SHERIFFS WILL LISTEN TO POLICE RADIO TO FIND SHERIFF'S LOCATION.

♢♢ SHOULD WE BAN RADIO USE?

LESS INFORMATION OBVIOUSLY WILL NOT STOP CRIME. BETTER INFORMATION ALLOWS BETTER DECISIONS. PLEASE DON'T TREAT EVERYONE LIKE CRIMINALS. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY? REMEMBER!

MORE RESTRICTIONS MAKES NO ONE SAFE. GUN LICENSING AND FIREARM RIGHT-SUPPRESSION UNDERMINE RIGHT TO LIFE FROM CONCEPTION TO NATURAL DEATH, AND DEMONSTRABLY INCREASES CRIME. EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO THE TRUTH.

THE ROAD IS LESS SAFE WITH ABSURD LIMITATIONS.

%▶ IF SAFETY: 9 MPH

%▶ IF POLLUTION REDUCTION OR EFFICIENCY: 92 MPH

FAST DRIVING IS NOT RECKLESS. SLOW DRIVING CAN BE RECKLESS.

▶ ROADS ARE BUILT FOR COMMERCE

▶ COMMUTERS PAY TAXES

▶ CITIES DON'T EXIST TO BE PROFITABLE

▶ CITIZENS AREN'T A MONEY TREE

WAZE HELPS TAX PAYERS EFFECT PRUDENCE.

● POLICE SHOULD BE PURSUING THOSE WHO PERPETRATE VIOLENCE AGAINST OTHERS AFTER A CRIME.

● POLICE ARE NOT PERFORMING THEIR SWORN DUTY WELL BY COLLECTING ARTIFICIAL UNDEMOCRATIC TAXES.

● HIGHWAY PATROL WAS CREATED TO HELP COMMUTERS WITH ROAD-SIDE DIFFICULTIES PRIOR TO THE AGE OF WIRELESS PHONES.

WTL;DR

■ MORE INFORMATION BETTER

■ CENSORING IS NOT BETTER

■ DO NOT TREAT EVERYONE AS A CRIMINAL

■ SAY NO TO IMPOVERISHING EFFICIENTLY DRIVING COMMUTERS

■ FIXED LIMITS ARE OUTDATED PER SE

■ DISMISS WITH PREJUDICE SHERIFF ASSOCIATION INANE REQUEST

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ITS INTERNETS.

I WANT TO GO HOME SAFELY TO MY FAMILY AND NOT BE SHOT OR RAN OVER BY SOMEONE WHO FOUND MY LOCATION ON WAZE! IF YOU REALLY NEED THE LOCATION OF POLICE, SO YOU CAN GO SLOW AROUND US, THEN SPEED UP AFTERWARD, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING!!!!! SPEEDERS KILL OTHER PEOPLE AND THEMSELVES AND WE ARE HERE TO PREVENT CAR ACCIDENTS BY STOPPING YOU!

SPECIOUS

Please stop trolling.

Specious claims

SPECIOUS CLAIMS

Most Waze user are safe drivers. A small segment of bad drivers use the location of police to facilitate speeding and other hazardous behavior that actually causes death and injury. If Waze does not want to do any harm we should stop this process.

PLEASE DON'T ALLOW OFFICER LOCATION ANYMORE!! IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND OFFICER'S CAN BE KILLED!!
