Google Won't Pull Checkpoint Evasion App

RedEaredSlider writes "Don't expect Google to remove apps that help users avoid DUI checkpoints — the company says it is leaving the controversial apps on its Android Marketplace. A source said the company only removes apps that violate its Android content policies and the apps in question do not appear to violate these policies." We'll see if Apple caves to pressure to remove them.

    Yay! A victory for drunk drivers. The Google app model is a success! BTW I'm surprised that so many slashdotters are so reflexively pseudo-libertarian that they stand shoulder-to-shoulder with drunk drivers, who kill thousands of people annually, and rail against the evil gubment who is out to get them. Down with the Man!
