In the UK Google released Street View last week. This allows internet users to access 360-degree views of roads and homes in 25 cities across the country.
Once it appeared on the web the complaints starting rolling in according to various news articles. According to these articles, the complaints seem to mainly come from privacy campaigners but also from some individuals caught on camera doing all manner of things from emerging from sex shops to throwing up in the street!
To me this all seems a little strange seeing as here in the UK we have the most CCTV cameras and are one of the most watched nations in the world. If people are coming out of a sex shop or throwing up outside a pub in broad daylight then they should complain if people see them or photograph them!
Here are a few UK sightings that I've come across...
