Street View Still Irking You
Posted By Heidi Walters on Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 12:00 PM
Google's ongoing little-big stunt gets another round of scrutiny . The writer of the piece goes on a fair bit about how criminals might use the maps and snaps to burgle you while you were away.... He also refers often to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat 's boot-leathering which found that the Google bug traveled down more than 100 private drives in Sonoma County alone with that nosy camera, and says it had every right to do that. 'course, there's a lawsuit. And there's at least one angry woman in Humboldt.
Clarification: Google claims it was within its rights to take pics on the private roads, not the Press Dem .
Speaking of Technology, Public Safety
