There are two completely separate fucked up things here:
a) Maxmind shouldn't be returning a location like this for "Anywhere in the USA". It should either be 0,0 for unknown or something totally obvious like the Washington Monument in WA DC.
b) The fact that clueless/ignorant law enforcement is blithely trusting and USING this spurious data. Someday a person is going to get SWATTed and shot dead over this sort of thing.
