No DWI Checkpoint apps from App Store?

Will the apple store remove apps that give users Police DWI check point locations? As of now the answer appears to be no. Apple's vice president of software technology had this to say, "One of the things we found is that some of these apps are actually publishing data on when and where the checkpoints are [using information] published by the police departments... They beleive that these checkpoints provide a deterrent effect." In other words the police departments want this information out there because it provides a deterrent to drunk driving.
