Someone In Detroit Pointed A Gun At A Google Street View Car

http://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Someone-In-Detroit-Pointed-A-Gun-At-A-Google-3877466.php



Google captures its Street View images by literally driving a camera-equipped car down the road while snapping photos. As such, the company tends to capture some weird images.

This image to the right, captured by a Google car in Detroit, clearly shows a group of people hanging out on a porch brandishing a gun. Another image clearly shows one of them taking aim at the Google car.

2. Is Google StreetView and satellite view a serious invasion of privacy?

You REALLY think he would be standing there with his peeps with a fucking toy gun? In Detroit? I've got some used concrete to sell you then, it's already been mixed with water and cured!

2. Is Google StreetView and satellite view a serious invasion of privacy?
No more so than me walking down the sidewalk with a camera.
