Silvercloud Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi, Just wanted to know what you think to the GOOGLE car that is driving around Shetland with a 360 degree camera on top,presumbly taking photos along all the roads ,its just left Sandwick area. Now I thought this was an invasion of privacy and Google actually need permission its caertainly caused a bit outcry down South with many complaints went in .Are you happy to be photographed for Google Streets ????

Skyumpi Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Are you happy to be photographed for Google Streets ???? Really not worried at all - don't see what all the fuss is about. Loads of people drive by my home every day. They can take photos if they like. If I was going to be doing anything I'd rather not have people see then I'd probably take special precautions like drawing the curtains or powering up my secret cloaking device.

Silvercloud Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi, Well I just don't fancy any of my children being photographed without my permission,then to be available on internet, the showing where children might be living was just one of my concerns.

Infiltrator Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Our house (sooth) has been on Google street since it was launched - we've since been inundated with thieves, vandals and salesmen - not Biggest problem is that it reminded me the windows needed painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breeksy Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 My kids are on the Originart website, on two different photos. They were very small then, and they are really proud of the fact - they show their friends. I'd be less happy if it was me, but then I'm not a fan of photos of me...

Michael Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I see no problem, If you don't want your house or picture on it you can tell them to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree!we are living in a society where there is so many security camera's, web cam's, tourists taking pic's whats the problem!? If you dont want to be seen then your best to just stay in the privacy of your own home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I see no problem, If you don't want your house or picture on it you can tell them to remove it.You can ask them to remove it - there are very few limits on taking photos in a public place..... chances are you would have to prove a specific harassment to force legal action on it.Google are bluring faces to save the hassle, but it's not a legal requirement.
