Spamming the Map with Police checking warnings

Lately noted the addition of police checking warning in Gmap especially in Chennai area when I was searching for some place there. Key word will “police irupanga” (meaning police there or beware! police) with many warning to watch out or wear helmet or dodge the route. Closed many, but some are being rejected especially one with category as Federal Police. These places are added with lot of unrelated categories as well - goverment office, place of workship, public safety office, state police, transportation service and what not even coffee shop.

Example - This one keeps rejecting.

Police irupanga helmet podunga (police here wear helmet)

Police Irupanga thappichiko (police here - escape)

Next one being AI cameras installed by Motor Vehicle Department in Kerala for road safety surveillance. They are mostly for catching using cellphone while driving, riding without helmet, triple riding, driving without seat belt, etc. and have been very helpful in speedy resolution of recent crimes including murder attempt and abduction. Majority of them are not speed traps, at least 95% of them. These are also added under unrelated categories like goverment office, department of transportation, camera store, etc. Tried removing them, but many returned as rejections.

Examples - These also rejected.

Killipalam -PRS, AI Camera

Bypass - UST Global Jn, AI Camera

Requesting Google Map team to look into this matter.
