It would be disappointing if Google and Waze capitulated to this demand. DUI checkpoints are unconstitutional and of questionable value.

  The Supreme Court confirmed the constitutionality of DUI checkpoints in Michigan Dept. of State v. Sitz [0][1].

    Setting aside the legality of the checkpoints themselves, the general public has a clear freedom of speech right to share information about the activities of law enforcement authorities. Barring some exceptional circumstances, there’s no constitutional authority by which they can prohibit an individual or a company from disseminating this information, especially given its clear value to the public. Whether the companies capitulate on their own accord or due to some behind the scenes strong arming is another matter.
