So, let me get this:
Data collected by TomTom is used by the government to identify bottlenecks in traffic and do something about them.
-> Everybody cheering, cuz that's the government's job and it is great that this satnav stuff can help...

Data collected by TomTom is used by the government to identify spots where people are breaking the law more than elsewhere.
-> Everybody tossing their TomTom cuz it's the bloody fscking government that is using this data and they should know better!

Can someone please explain the difference in attitude?

What people tend to forget is that any newsoutlet needs to pay for the content they deliver, either through paying journalists or through paying press agencies. Because newspapers do not get enough money from advertising, they currently need to let journalists go. Press agencies need to lower prices as well, because newspapers expect more for less. The current business model is not maintainable, everyone is losing. Most of all the readers, who are more and more getting the exact same news from any paper, without the indepth research we should be able to expect from journalists.
The current business model has to give, and this is a first step.

You may not like paying for your news, in the end someone has to pay for it...
