Tom Tom user data sold to Dutch police to determine speed trap locations

 We like it when the accumulated speed data from GPS devices 

helps us avoid traffic incidents and school zones. 

As it turns out, though, there are some other uses for the same stats. 

Dutch news outlet AD is reporting that such data captured by TomTom navigation devices 

has been purchased by the country's police force and is being used to determine where speed traps and cameras should be placed.
