Okay, up to this point I wasn't too concerned about Google Street view....but now?!?!?
They think they have the 'right' to photograph *private* property?!?!?!

I didn't read the whole article because it didn't really hold my attention, but...
While I think it's shitty that they went down private roads, the owners of the roads have to realize it's not the first time it's happened, nor will it be the last. Try a fence if you want to make it more secure.
I've heard that you can request that Google remove the image of your home, and while I'm not sure if that's true because I haven't tried it and I don't know anyone else who has, wouldn't that just be an option.
IDK. Maybe I'm not being sympathetic enough, but I just don't think it's THAT big of a deal to like... sue over.
