Interesting. Hopefully the cops don't start submitting bogus information ....

Props to him for actually using it to help warn about problems ahead instead of using it to get money from the people that reside in his jurisdiction. I wish the police Chief in DC was not such a Coward. She needs to get a clue.

I do believe Stlx50 did post something along these lines in the news stories section not too long ago.

Yes, he posted a previous story about the same department. That story is what got our attention, we contacted Travis County Sheriffs Department and now they are entering traps with their own custom icons, so users will know these traps our 100% valid.

Here's that story: http://www.myfoxaustin.com/dpp/news/...-Slow-Speeders

So not only can they enter their own trap data, they are Moderators with special powers and credibility. What safeguards are in place to stop them from entering bogus data and deleting accurate data?

Counter-intelligence is a huge thing. Look up Operation Fortitude if you need an example.

All you have to do is add a few bogus traps and you can effectively saturate the GPS with false alerts.
