Smile, you're on Google's candid camera

Smile, you're on Google's candid camera : "But that has all changed with Street View. This bottom-up perspective allows users to not only make out faces of the passers-by on the street, but to also pan around and see people in their gardens, verandas or balconies and in some cases inside their homes."

Well, you can pinpoint anyone now. Great for criminals, crime oriented mayhem makers. Great for voyeurs. Takes voyeurism to a new height...or depth. Nothing is sacred. Nothing. We have a right to nothing. So , how does that fit with our laws that you cannot photograph anyone without their permission? Child porn? No worries. So who is going to do what because it's getting beyond a joke.
