Prevent police from removing a report.
Police have caught on to Waze. They always click "not there" when someone reports them in Waze. An easy way to keep that from happening is to only allow the "not there" response from a moving vehicle. That way the stationary cop can't delete the report.

100% agree with the issue! I noticed in Switzerland that I reported multiple time a hidden camera and it “disappeared”.
I would say that Waze could disregard feedback from user that on report “no longer there”. As policemen will not flag cameras…

I suggest putting a time limit on the police alert. It stays for 20-30 minutes, then there is the option to remove it. The highway bandits (cops) are definitely doing this. I live in Texas and alerts I've posted have disappeared within a couple minutes of posting them.

Traveling from Milwaukee to Madison the 4 police alerts I posted were removed as soon as I put them up

Police are removing warnings about them as they sit idle in their spot to avoid detection of us Waze users. I think police warnings once placed should act on a timer expirey system; permanently placed for at least 3 hours once reported and then it's auto removed. That way cops can't cheat this amazing feature and at least after the 3 hours or so another user has to re report thier spot. So both parties get a "chance" without the game going back and forth between users reporting, cops removing, on and off again...

From experience I have encountered police officers, who happen to be users, who will "not there" themselves when reported. I recommend a time assignment for the report instead (30 min for the initial report then a confirmation box rather than the "not there" option) to combat this tendency.

I don't get why there is a police report feature in the first place.
What's the reason for reporting? To alert someone that is committing a crime, so he doesn't get caught. This is wrong. -
