Apple has updated its App Store Review Guidelines to reject applications that specify the location of DUI checkpoints, according to AutoBlog.
The updated terms come a few months after a group of U.S. Senators sent letters of concern to Apple, Google and RIM, asking the smartphone companies to remove any and all apps that would inform users of DUI checkpoints.
Section 22.8 states:

It's unclear whether Apple will take steps to remove popular apps such as Trapster from the App Store.
