    Street View Google has had some unexpected consequence's on the lives of some people.

    "A FURIOUS wife has called in divorce lawyers after spotting her husband’s car parked outside another woman’s house — on Google."

    "Street View has triggered a stream of complaints from people caught on camera since its launch on March 20.

    Google removed some images — including a man sheepishly leaving a sex shop. An office worker was also caught having a crafty cigarette by a No Smoking sign."

    That's typical of The Sun to post rubbish news stories like that.

    I never liked this 'feature' of google, it's too bloody invasive man! Thankfully they'll never come up here, and as nice as it was to see my roof from a sat image, I wish it had stopped there. I guess it's too late now for the ones that 'Big Bro' has documented.:( Who the heck needs that kind of detail?:confused

    ^^ agreed

    I have a huge problem with them taking pictures of my house for anyone to go on and look at. I could care less if someone sees me coming out of places, since I have nothing to hide. I have a huge problem with it being online somewhere.

    Ya Laura, and I don't see them doing the slum areas yet either.:confused I betcha their cameras would be shot to bits if not worse for the workers.

    Just imagine that you're a thief planning a heist, you look at the house/car etc. and what the escape routes are or worse, if there were kids playing around and were in the pics. The pedophiles already know where they live, won't take much for an abduction!:mad
