Looking at the map, I'm surprised that Google Maps/etc don't route around such abuse. For people that have no choice but to go through there, fine, but this seems like the kind of thing that would be worth driving an extra half hour to avoid. They already have "avoid toll roads", and this is worse.
- lostcolony 5y agoLord yes; I want the "avoid speed trap" option.
- Benlights 5y agoThis should be one of the options for google maps routing. A "Avoid Overpoliced Municipalities" toggle.
- gknoy 5y agoI mean, ideally I'd like to be able to define my own don't-go-there areas, such as near airports or areas that smell bad, but having defaults that route traffic around areas like this seems good. Legislating that traffic/etc fines go to a _state_ budget instead of local town budgets might solve this, but I imagine that would be very hard to pass, let alone survive lawsuits.

- tehwebguy 5y agoThe closest thing I can think of that they did was with Google Flights "basic economy" and similar fares (no carryon, etc) had a big red warning icon, most airlines ditched those types of fares within like a year.
- giantg2 5y agoNow I want to create a database/app like friendorfoe.us and sell it to Google to integrate...
- mindslight 5y agoIf we're looking to technological solutions, what about crowdsourcing some drones to drop Molotov cocktails on these criminals' houses? They could even be adorned with a Punisher logo to ironically take back the symbol. Pay off the underfunded fire department to just watch them burn. Cryptocurrency was supposed to be good for something, right?
