At least it keeps people out of fear and trouble!

The only real controversy is that the 'community' refuses to take blame and responsibility for its high crime and stops blaming everyone else. How long is this BS going to persist without it being called BS?
My girlfriend called me in real fear a few nights ago. She needed me to guide her out of Newark. This was because Google Maps misdirected her into Newark that night. All she wanted to do was get out.

Microsoft App To Guide Users Away From High-Crime Areas Proves Controversial « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – An in-development Microsoft smart phone app designed to help drivers and pedestrians avoid unsafe neighborhoods is proving controversial among some minority rights groups that find the software potentially discriminatory.

The as-of-yet unnamed product is being referred to as the “Avoid The Ghetto” app by those who are concerned with where it will guide users.

“I’m going to be up in arms about it if it happens,” said Dallas NAACP President Juanita Wallace.

Wallace spent her afternoon at a rally on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and said she felt safe there, but fears the app may project otherwise.

“Can you imagine me not being able to go to MLK Blvd. because my GPS says that’s a dangerous crime area? I can’t even imagine that,” she said.

[That is because every street that has been named or renmamed Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Is min the middle of the highest crime areas. No one needs an app to figure that out!]
