Android owners who are interested in breaking driving laws in their area can now utilize new application called PhantomAlert. PhantomAlert taps into the GPS device of an Android phone and warns the rogue driver of potential driving landmines such as DUI checkpoints, red light cameras, school zones speed traps and more. PhantomAlert is a smart system that continually updates by analyzing the user experience and submitted information. The application has roughly 400 different points of interest, a sum that will surely increase with time. These types of apps always carry an ethical and moral debate. Should we allow public hardware or software to be available for purchase in the private market which allows the consumer to break the law? On the whole, we know that these types of apps should not be legal, but we cling to the false hope that somehow, the constant warning of speed traps will encourage us to drive at a slower pace. This will work only if there was a speed trap every twenty feet. That of course, will never happen.
