my AP smeinar class is discussing privacy rights and this really brings light to Google Street View's actions. We don't understand how it is legal to publish these photographs when it breaks the Digital Privacy Act and the Fourth Amendment?
Taking pictures from a public place is legal and does not invade privacy. The real issue is the collection of e-mails, e-mail addresses, passwords, network information, computer information. They got caught and said it was an accident and all files are deleted. Then it happened months later in another part of the world. Same excuse. Then again this month in Canada, same excuse.
Street view is not invasion of privacy. I can see the same thing out walking. Google earth on the other hand tells me 10x as much about the property as a burglar that anything street view ever would.
google is going toooooo far with street view, nobody needs to see that much, maybe main streets, and main attractions but not residential neighborhoods........how can we fight this ? it needs to stop.....for real.
@chicospaintingco On the contrary. Things that are located on main streets are easiest to find. It's hardest to find buildings that are located on small streets and that's where street view is extremely useful since you can virtually visit the place and later on find it when you are really there.
@chicospaintingco Also things like capturing someone bathing topless or taking a piss are in my opinion not a big deal -- if you are doing this in public place you must be aware that someone can take a photo and put it on the internet.
Trespassing private property is another matter but I see it as a Google's mistake not deliberate plan. I'm wondering if the owner of the property tried posting a "take down request".
