RIM Heeds Senators' Call to Drop DUI-Avoiding Apps
Hmm?
What about Trapster? It's designed to alert people who enjoy speeding (which puts others in danger) avoid speed traps.
If someone is drunk driving and thinks the only punishment is getting arrested is missing the point. Your choice to save a little $ puts everyone at risk because of your selfishness.
No one is saying people should speed or drink and drive, but let's talk about constitutionality of DUI checkpoints. Being on the road does not constitute probably cause or even reasonable suspicion. While some could argue that driving isn't a right, legally passing from point A to point B is.
However you just proved my point, travelling is a right, so if you dont like DUI checkpoints, you ca walk. No one will stop you from walking.
Trapster IS one of the apps they are trying to get removed.
The government has plenty of money for road construction, emergency services and parks.
They get so much extra money, in fact, that they prefer to use the excess to wage war against random countries and discourage the average American from working by subsidizing laziness and irresponsibility.
Not maintaining the roads, that's for sure. Have you seen those things?
The government, local, federal and state are a 100% evil scheme to make money, increase the power of this in in and vested in it and little else.
My personal belief is that the government exists soley to protect the liberty of it's people. Nothing. Else.
I understand and respect that you may not feel the same way, but I do enjoy sharing my opinion as a libertarian.
I know that people want to believe that the budget would be balanced if only we cut all the spending that they don't like, but it isn't true. The reason for the debt is entitlement spending, i.e. the spending that people like.

And toss in military spending into that too.
We already have governors in our vehicles, why not regulate the speed to the highest allowed by law, rather than 120mph in most vehicles.
Why have minimum citation requirements among officers?
If speeding tickets were truly about public safety, why would the revenue from them be considered as part of the budget allotted for police departments? they should be rather an unfortunate side-effect of driving un-safely.
Headlight out? If it's really a safety issue (and it is!!!) focus on getting it fixed rather than charging for the, more often than not, unintentional mistake. Help them find the nearest auto-zone and get it fixed.
A person not wearing a seatbelt gets into a crash and hurts himself and how many others...
