GPS Maker TomTom Submits Your Speed Data To Police

An anonymous reader writes "The GPS systems in TomTom's Live range all feature built-in 3G data cards, which feed location and route information back to a central server. According to CNET, this data, along with users' speed information, is being made available to local governments and the police." From the article: "Knowing the cops can see where you're driving and how fast you're going is eye-opening stuff, but TomTom says the data is anonymous and can never be traced back to an individual user or device. Ordinarily, we'd be reassured by this, but we recall Apple saying something similar before the location-tracking excrement hit the phone-carrying fan."

If you installed a printer on it

Then it could print out speeding tickets as you go!

Also automatic shock collars for when crimes are committed.

I can see it now...

This speed trap is brought to you by TomTom.

Attention.
