GPS-maker TomTom has had to apologize for selling speeding data gathered from consumers' navigation devices to Dutch police, who used the info to set speed traps for drivers. The Amsterdam-based company says that it didn't know that the cops would use the information for law enforcement, and that no personal information tied to specific drivers was shared with police.

guess they shouldnt have been speeding huh?
What are they whining about? They (the Dutch) and every other European nation have totally surrendered their rights to freedom and privacy, in the belief that someone else (the central government and their minions) knows whats best for them and is best suited to manage their lives. So when the police use material and technology totally unrelated to fighting crime against them, they have already given up. However in THIS country, that process is already underway, thanks in large part to the same simplemindedness of 10:22...the old "if you're not doing anything wrong, then don't worry about no stupid Bill of Rights"....so MANY Americans would be perfectly content with a camera in their living room 24-7, monitored by the government. You know, just in case you THOUGHT of doing something criminal, they would be right there to save us from you.
