Glad to see Apple's leaders showing so much courage.

I'm sure their founders, and the historical heroes they love to quote on their homepage on important dates, would've been so proud of the courage and values they practice today.

@marcoarment don’t mapping apps allow you to report where traffic police are so you can avoid speeding there? Pretty much the same no?

@poswald In all jurisdictions I know, neither the legislature nor the police take traffic crime seriously. It’s a separate category of crime where everything is punished less severely, and often not even counted as real crime. As long as you’re majority-looking, you can assault someone with your car and face no consequences.

Disrespecting law enforcement on the other hand, is on the other side. There, you can do absolutely nothing that would normally be counted as a crime and still be punished.
