It has been a boon to directionally challenged drivers as well as the focus of legal actions raising privacy concerns.
It is Google Maps' Street View, a feature that captures on-the-spot images of streets and landmarks along your driving route, and some of those chance images are odd enough that they have developed a cult following of their own online.
But it does raise several questions about privacy and protected persons...
Except for the fact that you need to have a 'reasonable degree of privacy'.
Aka, if you are not taking actions to conceal yourself from cameras... you don't have a 'reasonable expectation of privacy'.
For instance, if your blinds are open and you happen to be nude in your living room when the streetview van takes your picture... if your blinds aren't closed, you don't have that reasonable expectation.
I noticed you can allow Google to access your camera and microphone.
