My biggest issue with Waze is that (in my mind, admittedly) it very blatantly promotes using your phone while driving. Case in point: because the location where a mark goes is based purely on GPS, I can't pass a speed trap and manually mark it on the map later when I'm done driving. If I want to mark it, I have to do it right then while I'm driving. If I want to participate, I need a passenger.
I assume the excuse is that it's to prevent people from just sticking random things on the map and muddying the data, but I fail to see how that is any different from normal use. Can't I just report speed traps anytime I want, regardless of whether or not they exist?
Sure, there's always the option of just not participating in the crowdsourcing, and that's fine. But not everyone is going to take that option, because people are... well, people, and they act like people do.
A disclaimer just doesn't cut it.
