I drove past the streetview car in Malvern one lunchtime a few weeks back. Made sure I slowed down so he could get a good shot of me

Malvern isn't on there yet, but when it is, look around the junction of Albert Park Rd and Quest Hills Rd - thats ME that is!

Hi Apache,

Will keep an eye out for you,
What does this google car/van look like?
Were you in the truck in your avatar?

The one I saw was a Vauxhall Astra estate, with a framework on top with a weird looking 360 degree camera on top, like this.



I was in my truck.

I fail to see what all this 'invasion of privacy' whinging is all about. If you've nothing to hide then whats the problem?

[Apache]

Totally agree. Whats the big deal about taking a pic of your road? Odd no-one shouts about the fact that 'they' keep records of your mobile phone location, and want to keep records of the calls and texts.

AGREED!!! no prob, if you have done nowt wrong,
and got nowt to hide why worry? It's a one off, no
times or dates, as it says in the song NO WORRIES.

EDIT:
Does anyone remember the song in the year 2525
by sager & evans? are we going to be there before then?

Something to look out for then, where is that?

I think that pic was taken in the 'abroad', as Clarkson would say.

They have covered Scunthorpe, for some reason, where I originally come from. My brothers dog is sat in his drive watching the car go past, you can zoom right in on it, they haven't obscured its face,and my sister's next door neighbour was putting her wheelie bin out when it passed. I can have a look round the town, seeing whats changed, the houses I use to live in without actually having to go back there.

Other than the fact that the human race ain't extinct yet, we've managed everything else from that song, haven't we?

I have no real issue with Google streetview invading anyones privacy. Everyone in this country is being filmed and photographed and having their movements tracked all the time by our own government anyway. The same government, that can access your phone records, your email records and your surfing habits at will. The same government that are busy encouraging everyone to snoop and tell tales on each other ( Stasi Style). What they are doing is a far greater invasion of privacy than google taking a few snaps.
I would take issue with the "if youve got nothing to hide, youve nothing to worry about brigade" That may be true today, but will it be true tomorrow? Will it be true for future governments ? and is it actually true now ?, and while you may have nothing to hide, does that also mean that you have nothing which you,d prefer to keep private ??
