Eric & Scott - it is probably the butcher,baker or candelstick maker
Our lasthouse must have been snapped last year, as we can still see our car in the driveway at Shepparton
Our new place must have been snapped at the end of this summer, as we can see our car again - Though our kids find it strange our car could have been in two places at once, they only wish they could see themselves outside the house
Hey, I can drive all over Australia without using any petrol or leaving my chair! Just follow the blue lines! Bit slow but - about the equivalent of a houseblock every 5-10 seconds?
Here's a few privacy issues I can think of to start with:
I can see what is in someone's yard two houses up.
He can see what is in mine. A bloody great observatory.
Isn't that why people put 6ft colourbond fences up.
For privacy. Why bother with fences anymore?
Someone a few doors away has built a pool over an obvious
easement. Big NO NO.
If I was feuding with the guy, should I tell council?
Google would have to drive on private roads to take housefront
pics of all addresses.
Don't you need permission to drive on a private road?
Unfortunately for me, the opposite is true. My son-in-law (wonderful fellow) hadn't mowed my lawn in a few weeks and it looks like, well, to be honest I can't think of a description bad enough.
Aye- most likely, that fits with my house photo anyway... was somethime after our roof tiles were (finally)done, and before I (finally)removed the bricks from the front gence/gate that my husband so skillfully knocked over.
So now one can case a joint before they knock it over, without even going there and showing thier face.
I can see the bins are out so its a business day. If I know the suburb I will know what day that is. I can pan around and see what driveways and carports have cars in them. Couldnt do this from sattelite pics but now you can. So I can pick a street where I now reasonably know who will likely be home and who will not...... Not happy about this at all. I certainly wasnt consulted before they stood in 5 different spots all around my front yard and panoramic snapped my windows, doors, car, observatory, gates...shall I go on. Thanks Google, for making my place an easier target.

Almost all the imagery on google earth is old, and it may only be updated once every few years. The street view data they put up was captured over the last year or so, so there is no sense of this being 'live' information that is useful. If a theif wants to risk casing a joint because the owner left their bin out 6 months ago then they'd be taking a big risk!

Actually, the photo is quite recent as I can see some old desks I left out the front to be taken away.
My point is, so, its not live, but you can still get a good "feel" for a neighborhood by doing this, regardless of the finer points. A lot more than you could from satellite pics.
My family lives here so I naturally feel protective and a little bit violated that all my entry points can now be seen by any sicko who so desires.
When you design a safe, you need to try to think like someone who wants to break into it, and do what you can to make it harder for the theif.
Street view is not the axe that busts down the door, but it is one of the tools that make the job preparation and target selection that much easier.
It's not the things I can think of that I worry about as much as the things I can't think of that scares me. As I said, this is our family safety at stake. Anything that threatens that is a concern.
Now you mention it (well your derrière anyway), of the millions of images they have taken, there must be some interesting scenes captured? I don't think they have carefully inspected every image? Just ran a tool over them to identify faces and numberplates and blur them?
but there is now hahaha so they need to update already lol
