FYI: Goodbye From Team Trapster

[WDG]

I received this email yesterday evening:



After evaluating our ongoing investments, we have decided to discontinue the Trapster service by the end of the year.


It is hard to imagine saying goodbye after 7 years but we want to thank you for using Trapster and your loyalty to the Trapster community.


Thank you,


Team Trapster

Wow. I suspect they couldn't keep up with WAZE, now that it is a Google property.

Doubt this would ever happen, freedom of the press, but then again.....

These guys are weanies.

Sheriffs expand concerns about Waze mobile traffic app - US News (http://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2015/01/28/sheriffs-expand-concerns-about-waze-mobile-traffic-app)

They don't like being "tracked" lawfully by citizens (think 21st
century CBers) but they have no hesitation to be involved with mass surveillance of lawful citizens. At least in this article the truth is being exposed.

Well fellas, two can play this game.

As I have always said, Waze works and I'd consider this app before a detector or other countermeasure product. If you own a smartphone you should be using it.
