Google Camera Car Chased Away

[CyberTractor]

People need to stfu.

If people don't want their houses to be photographed, then live in a gated community where cameras are forbidden.

If they don't want their stuff stolen, stop buying unnecessary luxuries that make you a target for theft, put your money in a bank or donate it to a good charity, or just burn it.

I doubt Google has a positive correlation to houses being broken into.

so cybertractor, your defensive theory about crime is to just have nothing worth stealing?

even monks get their houses broken into, they got chillies and stuff.

mmmm, monk chilli.

in short, they are worried about axe murders and ex-boyfriends (who isn't?)

While I certainly think the concern is genuine, it is misplaced. The people they need to worry about don't need to use Google Streetview, they can just go to the location. That's the whole point; these places are publicly accessable in the first place. Google isn't enabling anything sinister by doing this.

THIS.


As others have said, if you're THAT worried about the 'unwashed masses', set up and live in a gated community; there's tons of them in 'egalitarian' America - I'm surprised 'classist' England hasn't jumped on this concept already...

We don't need gated communities: knowing one's place is the most fundamental part of the English class system. The working class know better than to leave to the working class part of town, and the Toffs wouldn't want to leave their areas. This leaves the middle-class the remaining land. Class systems only fail when people fail to know their place.
