Should traffic and navigation apps allow users to report to other users the locations of DUI stops and police checkpoints?

Should Waze and other traffic and navigation apps allow users to show other users where DUI checkpoints and police are?
I know that flashing headlights to other drivers to show there are police up ahead has been something that police are not fond of and will ticket drivers for. That’s been challenged in court and I believe shot down as a violation of freedom of speech in some areas.
Do you think it’s a potential safety risk if app users show other users where there are DUI checkpoints? What about police hidden on the roadway? Should users be able to show others where the police are so they can slow down or avoid those areas? Do you think it’s a violation of someone’s rights to not be allowed to show/tell others where the police are located? Does this allow people to break the law and potentially harm others by driving drunk or speeding or doing other things and evading the law?
