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.
