couple sue Google over privacy invasion: "street view" | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 406956 Canada 04/04/2008 04:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll tell ya, if I seen that Google street view van in my city, I'd be following it to whatever hotel they were staying at and they would not have a street view (spycam) van anymore. These "Google" (CIA) employees who are using this street view crap to take illegal photos of people and places everywhere should be stopped. It's a massive invasion of privacy and the freedom to walk down the street without being photographed. |

I can type in my address and it shows a house a block down and a street over. Yeah, you can pan over or whatever and eventually find my house, even on street view, but you gotta know where to look.

Dread Pirate Roberts (OP) User ID: 406515 United States 04/04/2008 05:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hope they win! Quoting: Little Starme too. I think they have a point with the fact that they are on a private road/ Does that mean the van violated law when they brought the van down the private road? If so they may have to delete their pics and then that opens the door to lots of others...like you, I hope they win!

You bet, and what we are seeing in this article is that someone is taking on the corp. group who think they can control us and even snoop on us. I think they should sue for more money than they have presented. What right does google have to snoop? NONE! |
MissKitty User ID: 378306 United States 04/04/2008 05:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We are looking to move and we love the Google street view b/c we can type in the potential house and we get to see the rest of the street it's on. I hope they throw them out of court. God never gives you anything that you can't handle. So buck up and handle your shit! |
Me User ID: 394187 United Kingdom 04/04/2008 05:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Caused them mental suffering" Wow ! I find that totally unbelieveable, when I use Google to look at my own home it shows my ex neighbours houses which were demolished near 2 years ago, we now have a building site in its place ready for new tennants very soon. What people sue over these days boggles my mind ! I listen to both God and Satan ... I like to hear both sides of the story. |

Sal User ID: 420797 United States 04/22/2008 12:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hope the household gets smashed by Google. People don't even know what "evasion of privacy" means. If anything, this type of technology will increase the value of people's homes and will help sell houses in the future. Lawsuits like this make me ashamed to be an American. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 406956Yesterday, found letter at my house stating Assessor's office had stopped by and took pictures of my property. They left questionnaire to be filled out. Kind of freaked me out that someone came onto my property and took pictures. I don't have anything to hide, but it just isn't something I want people to be doing. I have no rights because they work for the Gov't. |
