Lautenberg (D-N.J.), and Tom Udall (D-N.M.) are named as senders in the letter,
which is addressed to Apple's senior vice president of iPhone software, Scott
Forstall. No specific applications are named, but the letter highlights apps that
"contain a database of DUI [driving under the influence] checkpoints updated in
real-time" as well as one that sends out real-time alerts about the existence of
these checkpoints.
"With more than 10,000 Americans dying in drunk-driving crashes every year,
providing access to iPhone and iPad applications that alert users to DUI
checkpoints is harmful to public safety," the group wrote. "We know that your
company shares our desire to end the scourge of drunk driving and we therefore
would ask you to remove these applications from your store."
The same letter was also sent to Google and Research in Motion to encourage
those companies to remove similar apps from their application stores. Research in
Motion has already agreed to remove applications offering data on DUI checkpoint
locations.
While the letter itself does not specifically reference any iOS applications
, a press release from Senator Schumer names Trapster and PhantomALERT as
examples of free apps offering location information on such checkpoints.
In addition to real-time information on DUI checkpoints, many of the apps in
question also offer information on speed traps, red light and speed cameras,
accidents, and other traffic conditions, several of which have also been
considered controversial, but the senators' letter focuses specifically on
the DUI checkpoint functionality. | s*********n
