U.S. Senators Ask Apple to Pull Police-Evasion Apps

It is nice to see what politicians do with all the free time they have after they fixed the economy, eliminated unemployment and stopped plummeting home values. Our tax dollars not at work.

U.S. Senators Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), and Tom Udall (D-N.M.) are named as senders in the letter, which is addressed to Apple's senior vice president of iPhone software, Scott Forstall. No specific applications are named, but the letter highlights apps that "contain a database of DUI [driving under the influence] checkpoints updated in real-time" as well as one that sends out real-time alerts about the existence of these checkpoints.
