Nope, sorry, you're wrong. I've spent hundreds of hours flying small airplanes, my earlier comment explained what actually happens in real life.

You're not wrong. But serving it up on a silver platter in a pretty UI that got a lot of press was probably not necessary to make that happen.

The website enabled stalking individual city employees by their initials in real time.

If it just showed where the cars were, that would be much better. Although still questionable IMHO.

Nothing makes me feel more like a grumpy old man than the new strike zone box. My favorite part of watching a baseball game with friends was the heated arguments about what was or wasn't a strike.

I realize that it's an objectively ridiculous thing to have strong feelings about, but boy do I hate it :D

That's a false dichotomy.

There is a world difference between everything you mentioned, and publishing the real time locations of officers by their actual name (initials) on a website anybody can visit.
