As a former Trapster user, I can attest that "known hideouts" are pretty useless. They can hide out in dozens of places in a small area, and you never know when they'll be there. The end effect is a LOT of clutter on the map. I looked at the Trapster map of San Francisco once, and the "known hideouts" were packed 2-4 per block! I don't know how it could possibly be useful to be told that the police may be hiding in any of a dozen places in the next mile. I don't need an app to remind me that I could get in trouble if I break the law on a given stretch of road. If you're that paranoid about police, I don't see why you need technology to reinforce, or more probably amplify your paranoia. Just remember that they are hiding behind every bush and billboard and you'll be fine.

Not so much to reduce mobile data (though a lot would be required) as to offload the computation required to find the route. Pathfinding is a very computationally intense process but Waze adds even more data (time of day, day of week, time of year) to the computations than just "shortest path". If your phone had to crunch the route across town your patience would probably time out, never mind a very long route that the server has trouble with.
