My house isn't on, but there's a cracking picture of my dad looking out of the living room window wondering WTF it is!

They blurred out all of the car reg numbers, except for mine!   I'll echo what has been said - careful what details you post up.  |

I like the idea of being in the right place at the right time, following one of these camera cars around in a retro car so the car appears in loads of photos, a bit like Where's Wally but Where's Tolly if I was do it in my Toledo.
I also think it is freaky but can't quite see the danger...it would be different if there were CCTV cameras everywhere, then it would be time to run away and find a hole to live in for sure

my house is a mile from a paved road, I doubt they will come up here! (my town isnt on there yet)
Can you imagine someones car in someones driveway indicating an affair or something, or maybe catching some burglars in the act, that would be funny.

It seems to be a bit inconsistent with plate blurring. Anyhoo I just spotted this beast on the street view of Southampton. (patchy coverage some main routes are partly covered or not at all)  Another vehicle in the city that caught my eye, well the wheels did they appear to be Borbet A from a low res side profile shot.  |

This whole thing freaks the living curse word out of me. Not for the security issues, just because it can be done.

Actually happened when they did in the States.. there is a great blog about this stuff. They have this in Japan as well.. I know that Junkyarddog's famous 330c is on there |

Holy curse word, I had no idea this existed. Posting pics of your own cars etc is stupidity IMO, especially with the street address visible. Yes, they might be out of date by now, but how many are still there? Anyone can drive down your road and see things for themselves, but there is no need to take the added risk of posting up information for the world to see - after all, its been proven plenty of times in the past that thieves and scammers read forums and act on information they find. Its time to make some tinfoil hats.  |

Glad I am the only one that's thinking this is a really bad idea from the point of security and a huge invasion of privacy. After all it's not like CCTV that supposedly for our security is it? This is just a stalker's best friend. And don't get me on the cars that might disappear. And we worry about posting a pic of some random tat in Asda's car park......

They blurred out all of the car reg numbers, except for mine! I'll echo what has been said - careful what details you post up. apparently Google have stated that if anyone is unhappy with whats shown then let them know and they can rectify matters, that includes removing your house if you want! Shouldnt be too hard for them to blur out your reg number if you inform them of this. My road has not been pictured... yet just all the roads around me have |
