Comments on: Trapster turns your cell phone into a police detector

Turn that cell phone into a radar detector with Trapster.

"Trapster " is an appropriate name for this divice. It IS a trap in and of itself. It gives a false sense of security to the user. How can I figure this out without even using it? Common sense = I went to trapster.com and looked up the metropolitan area where I live. ONLY 9 "traps" were listed. I can assure the reader that this is most definitely incorrect!!!! I've lived in this area just long enough to know every nook and cranny where "traps" are DEFINITELY set and 99% of them are not listed!!!!

Moral to this story: Waste your money on this bull scat at your own risk! ;)

"Waste your money" on freeware??? Speed traps are id'd by users. I guess your area doesn't have enough input.

Trapster's data, however, is open to possible intentional compromise, which I wrote about at http://randykolb.com Specifically, that purposely false data could be entered by certain local law jurisdictions. Would this happen? Probably not in most circumstances. But if Trapster ever became a threat, either to traffic safety or local revenue streams, and if a particular jurisdiction was bent on bringing the system down, maybe at a county or state level, they could perhaps even outsource erroneous data entry. Again, not likely but certainly a possibility.
