it's starting to seem more and more like they just want to blur out freedom :-\

Someone here tried sueing GE for invasion of privacy because they claimed the street view was taken on their private property.

They lost.....

Maybe they want to blur Cal. because it's going to fall into the ocean when the big one hits and they are preparing to make people pay to remember what it looked like... :icon_scratch:

That's right !! the lawmakers are trying to blurr out google earth on California ...I personally dot agree with it, i like looking at the lands and water to find places to hunt, I wouldn't mind them trying to blurr out house from criminals... I hope it fails
Maybe they figure the heck with criminals, let's get Google

Interesting.

I DO like Google Earth, but the street view thing is too damn much.
Did their camera car drive by you rhouse while you were showering in the front yard again?

I think street view is a great tool since I can't zoom in the satellite view close enough. I think we should all sign a petition to have them drive back and forth across the deserts so we can have street view in the middle of nowhere.
 

Is Google earth Known to
the State of California to Cause Cancer
or Reproductive Toxicity ? :tongue3:
 

I think a lot of this has to do with the recent sting of celebrity burglaries there. The kids that were charged with the thefts said that they checked the tabloids to see when the homeowners were going to be at certain events, and then used Google Earth to sort out the best way to get into those homes without being seen by neighbors.

While I don't think that entire cities or states should be blurred, I could reasonably support a bill to allow homeowners to choose to have their own homes blurred. I honestly don't believe that they would end up with a lot of takers for it even if it was offered.

Actually I agree with being able to blur your own property, due to the fact that the images of some of the homes is up close and personal enough to see inside the windows of the homes. On my dads property you can see him and his cousin setting in the shop. It was and is a violation of privacy as I see it.

No more than every policy in place by our State Government!
