“nothing to hide”…I don’t have anything I MUST hide, but sometimes if I’m sweaty and working in my yard, I sure as shootin’ don’t want my pic splashed on Google maps for the entire world to see if they stumble onto it! What’s wrong with some of you people?

Neighbors you see every day are a far cry different from being splashed in the Internet when you DID NOT GIVE PERMISSION NOR WISH TO BE. That goes for my home, my car, etc. I pay to live in peace and privacy on my property and both are being stolen from me by invasive cameras that have no business tooling around and snapping photos.

If I go and take a strangers picture and splash it on the Internet w/o their permission, I’m guilty of a crime. But the Big G can do it and it’s okay? Please. Homes and yards ARE NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. Duh.

An answer to everyone who uses the line, “if you have nothing to hide.” My answer is “why do you want to know?” When a stranger(especially government employees) ask me for information, I should be concerned. I must assume they want to take something from me or use the information against me somehow. We don’t give our neighbors such personal info. If a neighbor or friend asked such questions about our private life, then it would raise serious doubts about the intentions of those people. Yet a government thinks it has the RIGHT to get or take our personal information. LOL, as we know, government neveeeeerrrr does anything nefarious or abuses and violates anything it has been given the privilege to do.

You have to be completely out of the loop. What planet have you been living on.

I noticed that the individual who stated, “Who in the hell is this concerned about their privacy unless there’s something they’re trying hide” used a screen name/alias/moniker “ThatGuy.” What does he/she have to hide?

Oh, here we go again! The typical boot-licking, slavish, “If you have nothing to hide” commentators. Well, if YOU have nothing to hide why not drop your pants and let us see if you haven’t been molesting children, eh? You never did such a thing you say? Well if you haven’t anything to hide then you won’t mind us examining your johnson for fecal matter or blood. Right? I mean… it’s the seriousness of the charge and not the facts that matter. But you have nothing to “hide”. Right? I so tire of this mentality that embraces its velvet covered chains.

The best thing to do is video/street view google data server farms, post them online and then enjoy. Same thing with these people with these cameras on their cars, find them and follow them all day and then post pictures of where their cars is at their house with the camera on top along with their entire yard view. Their server farms are supossed to be secret but the information is out there as to where they are at, video record where and post online. If you start putting their private information online they might just change their song.

Obviously, some of you are here by accident. Identity theft is only one of many ways to have your identity threatened. If you had read his book you might understand. As a person who got out of domestic abuse I understand that my ex-, although not allowed near my home, can find it, find other spots to hide himself in the area, and come attack me. Now that’s 2 reasons to worry about Google. Believe me, there are plenty more!

Look! Its The Stig! Hi Stiggy!
That is awesome.
Honestly I think its a bit strange for everyone to get uppety about this street view thing. It is the street after all, where anyone can walk down freely. I don’t think its any worse. Go ahead, leave your drapes facing the road open. plain jane can see what your doing when she walks by and so can street view.
Same thing with people on the street who get their picture taken. unless someone makes a video like this, and the person happens to be in it, or their on a busybusy street, only somewhat more than the amount of people who saw them on the street will see them on street view anyhow. Its not like you get on street view and your picture is sent to every person on the planet and it pops up the second they turn on their compy.
Get over your privacy. No matter how much you think you have walking down the street in your invisible manbubble. The only privacy you really have is in the shower. ..well.. maybe. guess you never know with that one.

What is this, a site for criminals and spies? Who in the hell is this concerned about their privacy unless there’s something they’re trying hide.

If these street images by google are updated on a regular basis this could be a real problem. If updates are not done and all faces etc. were blurred, the problem is quite diminished, never the less, it is only ok in your back yard.
