Couple suing Google Maps after it sent them to a notorious crime hotspot where they were brutally attacked and robbed at gunpoint::A Los Angeles couple filed a lawsuit against Google Maps for allegedly navigating them to a notorious South African crime neighborhood where tourists are left ‘injured, maimed or dead.’
It’s a high crime neighborhood because criminals live there. Or more precisely, because it’s a poor, gang infested neighborhood.
What you’ve said makes no sense. There are high crime neighborhoods like this all over the country independently of what Google maps does. There are also neighborhoods full of tourists that aren’t high crime areas.
Particular conditions, in this particular neighborhood, lead to these particular crimes occurring.
Poor people rarely steal from their poor neighbors…
I’ve lived in lots of “bad neighborhoods” and never had my stuff messed with, I’ve lived in “good places” a few blocks away from the bad ones, and shit was always being stolen.
Its not complicated bud.
Yeeeeah, I know people who stayed in surrounding townships and often times they’d tell me they’d be scared to go home.
I have a friend who lives in Manenberg (also gang infested area in Cape Town), he’s lived there all his life. Last year he had all his teeth broken by a gang.
I don’t think you understand what dangerous is. You think you do, but you don’t. These are places that ambulances, police and fire trucks don’t dare go into for fear of having their vehicles set alight and being killed.
Life has no value in these places.
