Four US Senators have made it clear to Google and Apple that they want both companies to remove the DUI Checkpoint App from their stores. A similar request was made to RIM, which complied. The Apps locate and warn drivers of the location of DUI checkpoints and even offer alternate routes to avoid the police. Both Google and Apple are still reviewing the request.
"Isn't what these apps are doing is encouraging people to break the law?" Udall asked. Udall, along with Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Harry Reid (D-NV), Charles Schumer (D-NY), had called such apps "harmful to public safety."
