This is a couple of days old, so apologies in advance for this. In any case, the police chief of Washington DC, Cathy Lanier, has chided the people who use radar sensing technology, including applications iPhone, for their "cowardly tactic." With applications such EyeWiki, people are able to flag known locations of traffic cameras using GPS. Then, as you approach a camera marked the application of rings, "Hey, slow down! There's a traffic camera near." Police say using that technology could endanger the life, but that does not make sense.

The argument is that using the technology of radar detection, which is illegal in DC and Virginia (so this post is debatable, but whatever), it could endanger lives. Therefore, supports the police. Please note that the traffic cameras and whatnot nearly $ 1 billion from 2005 to 2008. If everyone around with the technology leadership that said losses cameras, the police will have a nice hole in the budget.

 

But the idea that the use of technology, in and of itself, puts people in danger, life is hard to believe. The cameras serve as a deterrent: drive the speed limit or be ready to whip your purchases online. So you drive the speed limit, which, I would imagine, lower traffic fatalities. But let's say you have an app that marks the position of cameras. You are still going to slow down traffic near the camera, it's just that the police will not be one of your money in this way.

 

 

Unless the police are trying to say that people drive reckless in all the place, except when the traffic in the vicinity of a camera. This, I think, could be valuable. In this case, people are still driving unsafely, except when they know they are approaching a camera, but now the police have less money for the fight against crime.

Solution: the prohibition to leave the car.
