Would you like some cheese with that whine?

I wonder if we can see the street riots in Montreal last Monday? Anyone know what Google Maps' posting delay is?

lol

Mockba arnt you in Canada where Ellie just posted about?

my point is you need to get a life old man..stop throwing your 2cents in every topic. especially when they are all semi-retarded one line comments

^ WHAT HE SAID

Would you like a cup of shut the fuck up and pack of Viagra?

no, Im in fucking states right now, and I don't like this shit a bit. Maybe its ok with old dog but its not OK with me.

What he said is you’re too stupid to take a look at page one of this thread and see it yourself.

You can only do the street view in the USA and some parts of Canada. It wont let you do it over Europe or other countries

btw didn't Google tell the US gov to go fuck itself when they asked for all that surf data?

If the Google 360cam catches you beating your girlfriend through an open window and someone spots it on street view... too bad, you should've shut the blinds. i say it's admissible.

Oh, fucking great. So if I’m having sex with my girlfriend and it ends up on some website its perfectly OK?

Dude, did you vote for Bush? Because if you did, you asked for zero privacy anyhow.

You live in a country that has given up a few of these personal privacy priviledges for the sake of some false security concept and I feel bad for the good people I know over there who have to deal with it.

But take it from me, no one will give a fuck if one month's street view shows you or mowing your lawn... and from what I've seen they're blurring faces anyhow.

They're not blurring plates though, but then again who cares... unless you weren't supposed to be on the misstress's street when you said you were at the dentist's.

But then, this stuff isn't dated... again, what is the biggie?

Property owners own all the air space they can use above their property. Since google has proven that the owner can use space above their homes to take pictures google does not have the right to use that space anymore.

At least that is what some people are saying.

Why don't you wait until you have a girlfriend before you start worrying about that. And shut your blinds when you do get to that point.

The eyes can not trespass.

I am sorry . . . . what?

so if im caught whacking off and it ends up on line would i be the one held responsible for no 2257?

goood thing you don’t have to worry about shutting you blinds in your apartment. Besides, nobody, and I mean not even google bot, whats to see that thing you fucking.
PS: why don’t post your address here dog so we can all check it out you crib..

Well, there was a couple in Florida who were having sex in the privacy of their home.

There was a neighbourhood kid who peeped through a crack in the curtains and saw them.

He went and told his dad.

His dad came over with a video camera (peeping all along through that space in the curtains).

Apparently they were prosecuted for corrupting a minor or indecent exposure or some shit.

I can understand your concern.

However if the Google 360cam can spot your pumping butt from the middle of a street through a window, it might just be due to the fact that maybe you want to expose yourself?

someone is angry.

Can you please explain this to bicycle retard who thinks he’s the founder of Hells Angels?

now fuck I am...

Sorry, didn't know such a thing as street view existed, thought you were talking about the normal google maps.

the street view is questionable also if its used to sell ads.

How does Google maps generate a current on st image of a address? Not sure how the hell they do it!

For example if you type in a st address on Google it will show you at st level what that st looks like almost like your looking threw a windshield of a car.

I feel these street-view images are terrible. You can see it so clear! whether in the street or in the homes. As I know they drive a van with a whole bunch of video cameras down every street, so we can then view the images online. Oh! I hope to be the driver, that's easy job. :)

I didn't mean that Google was evil. I meant that the "it's in public so it can be published" argument isn't neccessarily the only correct or sane or acceptable answer.

Dude, what I'm saying is if you do it in public you're doing it in public.

Don't close your blinds? It's YOUR fault you get seen... especially by Google Cam - have you tried peeping into the windows on Haight Ashbury in San Fran on the Google Maps Streetview?!?! Or anywhere? If you get seen you're working it man.

And if you just get seen by a dozen people walking by, well you just might get busted for being a profligate exhibitionist.

Sonny Barger there (sorry, I mean, Baddog) is right - it's no big deal.

But I'm Canadian and I live in a country where there's a measure of restraint in even public exposure/media coverage and "security" monitoring.

And even so, I don't think this Googlecam business is such a big deal.

You don't wear a hood when you mow your lawn? You don't need anonymity? You mow the thing because you want it to look good PUBLICALLY, right?

It's not violation of privacy because it's not 24/7 or monitoring - it's a snapshot.

If it was dated and it caught you parked at your girlfriend's while your wife was in labor, it means your a shithead.

.


You live in the USA.

All I can say is that I really wouldn't care. For the most part it's stuff that everyone walking down the street could easily see.

Ok, thanks for your contributions, especially to baddog.. Fuck you all, I’m going back to my Molson Ice and hockey games. See you in 1 hour.

Wll explain how it is a violation of privacy...

This is an awesome tool feared only by unjustified paranoia.

I have used it many times to check driving directions so I have been there before I've actually been there.

Eventually there will be a permanent archive of how every neighborhood looks. Your great-great-great-great grandkids will be able to look this stuff up. This technology is a part of history.

I would say if you are doing it in view of the street, then there isn't a reasonable expection of privacy and you deserve what is coming.

funniest thing I have heard all day ;)

Mockba you should come over to the UK and you cant even walk down the road without being watched by CCTV camera's and they even talk to you in some countys. They are not just in city centers any more, but they are now in residential streets small villages. They reckon that you are caught by over 300 cameras in one day If you are a city center. Privacy does not exist any more

I have 6 bay windows facing the road, 4 in my office room an 2 by the front door. You want me to cover every one of them? Do any of you even own a house, cause Im kinda tired explaining this to you.
I don’t give a flying fuck if my neighbor drives by and see me, but I don’t want some fuck in Turkey or Burkina Faso looking at me and what I do.

google maps still amazes me

they talk to you? Like in the sci-fi parody Demolition Man? they tell you stuff like you're too close to the curb or that it's not polite to say "fuck"?

What? So it's a sectarian/racist thing?

NO, its about being property owner and clueless ass clowns..

Can you post your address here so I can look it up.

I bet they are my friend...I bet they are :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yep they have cctv with speakers

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6524495.stm

OK now YOU freak me out

They are now extending them and I guess in another 10 years or so most citys will have them

5365 Berri montreal quebec h2s 2j7 tho i don't think you'll get a street view yet lol.

wow

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6524495.stm

only one option.

Hoods up. Large rocks.

i imagine its on the back of his car like everyone else's

http://66.112.210.79/lic.jpg

Yep I aggree, the new ones are made to look like street lamps, and a lot of people dont even know they are being watched. All they have to do by law is have a warning sign up saying there is cctv in the vicinity. Im waiting for the day they mount machinguns on cctv..lol .. but it is a big brother watching you senario and I honestly dont think it makes any diff to the crime rate, infact it seems to have gotten worse over here now.

now someone needs to cross reference strip clubs and congressmen license plates

yepp, just image what you can get if you pay???

I don't see anything wrong with the general idea, but once you get some tricky algorithms that are able to recognise objects, words, even faces to a certain extent, then everything starts linking together.

There was a site that was (is?) in beta that has a toolbar which allows you to tag people in any photo appearing on your screen, and if it recognises that face in another image it will pop up the name. To everyone using the toolbar. I believe it also lets you find other images of the same face. THAT'S the sort of thing you need to worry about, this type of reverse indexing that makes it very easy to find data about a specific person...
