Keep in mind the site doesn’t track officers in real time, it reports the last location and timestamp of a ticket.

Realtime police officer location data would interfere with arrests and investigation, but realtime reporting of incidents is critical public data that shouldn’t be fear mongered away.

If officers giving tickets are in fear of their life, taking down a tracking website isn’t the change that keeps them safe...

I'm trying to show how people on here are saying because someone is in the public we are owed exact xyz location data of said person is fucking ridiculous.
