I know that in Miami, police have admitted to using such tactics on Waze.

Correct. Here's a recent piece on Autoblog.

Google purchased Waze for approximately $1 Billion, so I'm hopeful they stand firm with their investment. Obviously, the police aspect is only part of what their app provides, but for many users it's the most important feature. I'm actually disappointed Google hasn't already done more with Waze. Occasionally on Google Maps, you will see a traffic message "as reported by a Waze user" or something similar.
