How does Waze know there are cops?

Waze is a new and controversial mobile app that tracks cars moving through traffic in real time and shares that information so users can get around traffic jams. The app also uses a small icon of a tiny face in a police hat to warn users if police are nearby, either in speed traps or parked on the side the road.

Does Waze show RBT?

Unlike regular Google Maps, the Waze app lets drivers report obstacles, traffic, mobile speed cameras and ‘DWI checkpoints’, known locally as random breath test (RBT) stops or booze buses. “Revealing the location of checkpoints puts those drivers, their passengers, and the general public at risk.”

Does Waze prevent cops?

No, it only shows you police that some other Waze user has noticed and entered their location, including whether they were visible or hidden. Then when another Waze user comes by, they are notified of the police. If the police have moved on, then that Waze user will cancel the notification for other users.
