Just curious, is it 'Illegal' for this mass photography in some way or other?

[sorath]

If only they reacted to the NWO in the same manner. I've said it before and i'll say it again. They act when it affects them directly, otherwise they don't give a shit!

Agreed, but is there any limit to Street view?

I thought it was only for major city centres!

So, are they now going to EVERY county in England, Scotland and Wales to photo every street right into the rural areas?
If this is the case something ought to be done.
I know on my website I have pictures of roads for travel knowledge but not peoples properties as that's private and IMO not for publicising.

Google are getting waay to big for their boots.

The government pushes through laws only which aide themselves and big firms not the public who object to this. Which is why nothing is being done at an official level.

Pin your shopping list or a poem or whatever to your front door. If they photograph it,you can do them for copyright infringement.

I checked out one of my mates homes and you can see about 5 number plates in his street alone !!!
You can zoom right into his house but luckily his sitting room curtains were closed, but you can go around the corner and zoom into his back garden! ,omg if someone takes pictures of you in your back yard arnt they breaching your privacy !!
If my reg plate gets took by google I think I may have to take it further as I don't want to start getting billed for lets say congestion charges or worse.
if they cant be bothered to edit all the photos then I say dont bother taking the dam photos :mad:
I hope shit loads of people start taking em to court on mass and bog them down in legal land.
did anyone notice that on the bottom page (the comments) of the article were all negative and all for google doing this type of shit without permission what a bunch of ignorant fools eh .

They won't stop till the whole country's on it,it's a gross invasion of privacy.

I agree with what you say about goolge.

The goverment don't listen to our objections,were no longer important,what makes them money is.

If the camera turns up in our street it can expect much of the same,we'll block the road,i wish more people would do this.

We have protect what we have while we still have it to protect,not just in a material sense either.

Google created the service to allow users a realistic glimpse of British streets without leaving the front door, thereby saving time and cutting carbon emissions.
