All we need is 4 senators to restore liberty?
Apple will ban from its online store future applications that inform users of checkpoints not publicized by police.
Canada-based Research In Motion, maker of BlackBerry smartphones, pulled the apps immediately.
The move comes three months after four Democratic U.S. senators — Charles Schumer of New York, Harry Reid of Nevada, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey and Tom Udall of New Mexico — asked three smartphone manufacturers to quit selling such downloadable apps or to remove the DUI checkpoint function.

"I strongly encourage Apple to take the next responsible step of removing all applications that allow unsafe drivers to evade police checkpoints," Reid said.
Anyone with an application that shows police checkpoints is an unsafe driver?
Just four Senators to make this happen... Wow!
