Want to know where the cops are checking for drunken drivers? There’s an app for that.
Or at least, there was.
Apple has put the kibosh on mobile applications that identify DUI checkpoints unless the checkpoints have been publicly announced.
The existence of such apps led a gaggle of U.S. Senators to send letters to mobile industry leaders calling for a ban, according to News & Observer blogger Matthew Fortner.

What about driver created real time traffic apps like Waze? Did they remove that one too? I can only imagine that someone with the Waze app would note that traffic is backed up on a road due to a DUI checkpoint.
I really don’t think they can squeeze the genie back into the bottle.
