How is your license plate easily legible if these are birds eye view pictures on google maps? I could careless about birds eye view but when they start looking in towards homes...which is what they would have to do to see your license plate (unless it is on the roof of your car...who knows) then I have a problem. I don't believe that they are doing that though because i have never seen it done like that.

Also it isn't an invasion of privacy if I am driving down the street looking at houses is it? Maybe I take a pic or two from the street of the whole house if i'm house hunting. What if your car is in the drive way in that pic did I just break the law?

All faces and license plates are blurred so you can't see them. If there not report it and google will correct it in a few days.

Again they have in the past, hard to hide when you have pictures!

I know the one it was quite evident it was private drive. I blame the driver, not Google.

some driveways look like streets , but they usually remove those images when requested. Sometimes there allowed on private or city property. Alot of Universities have allowed them on.

It's amazing how self important so many people are. Do you really think anybody gives a damn about the front of your house or your license plate? I hate to break it to you, but they don't. But, but, you make a 200,000 a year salary. So what? Nobody cares.

What are they going to do, take your 5 digit 401k, that is being destroyed by Obama's Marxist regime as we speak? I mean, really, what's the difference?

This was when it first came out or shortly after, there was a few instances. One or two of them it was clearly marked private drive and/or it should have been easy to tell it was a driveway.

Been reporting it x 2 years, repeatedly. As to the other personal attacks, they are unfounded and full of false statements. Pretty pathetic that folks refuse to take the high road in this discussion.
