Default Invasion of privacy?

http://maps.google.com/



Type in any address and it will give you a 360 degree street view to most private residences.



Type in the address and click search maps.



It's cool yet it is also scary to think about.

I typed in my parents house and you can zoom in and see in the windows of the house a bit, see what cars are in the driveway ect and it has to be very recent. I bet navigation in cars will be like this "real world view" soon.

The gates were closed when they drove past, no guards here either, I guess they didn't feel like waiting for someone to open them.

Of course, all you'd see is the beater outside the house anyways, the S is in the garage

I think it's cool. I don't see how it's an invasion of privacy when anyone that wanted to drive down the street could see the exact same thing that the camera sees. My house
