It's clear the driver needed to make a u-turn in the driveway. There should be an on-off button for the picture taking precisely for this. There should have been no pictures taken from the dirveway.

Compare the difference between the street view and the picture from the road at the county assessors.

Frankly I am more concerned about all the info available in other ways. When I was looking into buying a distressed home from someone trying to flip it, I found the social security numbers in mortgage papers online with the county. They just scanned them and put them online. When we bought a different house, I made sure that lots of stuff was blacked-out before it was duplicated.

Allegheny County already put all this information online, years ago.

Also I'm not sure how you can "clearly see" it's a private road. Since Google posted detailed pictures of the area you would think we could see this "private road" sign somewhere, no? I just used street view to pan around and all I could find was a single wooden post with "Oakridge Ln" painted on it (where it meets Reis Run Road.) In fact you can still follow Oakridge all the way up to their house before google says "This image is no longer available" and still see no posted sign.

Here's another picture of their house:

The people claim Allegheny County took their picture from a public road which, judging by the picture, is the same road Google was on.

Also how's this for invasion of privacy: They bought their 1 bedroom house in 2006 for $163,000 and it sits on 1.82 acres of land. It gets a D+ rating. It has no AC, 1 bathroom, and 984 sq. ft. of living area.

That's all available on Allegheny County's assessment website. Along with a nice picture.

My guess is they saw this on Google, ran to Home Depot for a private road sign, and decided to cash in.

Allegheny County (where Pittsburgh is) has all houses on their property assessment website.

Here is this one: http://www2.county.allegheny.pa.us/RealEstate/Image.asp?CurrBloLot=0823E00136000000&Street=oakridge

The county has been causing all of us Pittsburghers untold amounts of "mental suffering" for years.

Allegheny County has a real estate assessment website which has pictures of every house in the county. Including the Borings:

Your implication being that this is what the Republicans do, can you offer any actual proof that this occured in the last election?

Oh man... there was so MUCH of it I can't even begin to list it all, much less give links for every single one.

A flyer on fraudulent Allegheny County government stationary stating that due to high turnout voting is extended to November 2nd AND November 3rd, and that to avoid conflict and disruption for Republicans to please vote on the 2nd and Democrats to please vote on the 3rd. The county government itself put up this page because of it.

Take a look at this flyer fraudulently claiming to be from the NAACP: "The following persons may not register or vote and will be subject to arrest,
Persons with outstanding traffic violations, including moving violations and parking citations above $50.00; Persons who have not submitted credit reports dated one week prior to election day; Persons adjudged to be negligent in paying child support." It also states fradulent requirement of two forms of photo ID. Who the hell has two photo IDs?

The most head Republican in Pennsylvania said quote: "the Kerry campaign needs to come out with humongous numbers here in Philadelphia. It's important for me to keep that number down". Wow, an honest politician! Too bad he was honestly admitting to voter suppression. The same link also notes Republicans sought a last-minute relocation of 63 polling places, nearly all of them in black neighborhoods. Specifically 53 of the 63 were in overwhelmingly black neighborhoods, and I beleive the other 10 were also in urban democratic areas. Last minute relocations to confuse and disrupt voters.

A doctored news story spread on Pennsylvania college campus that students will lose financial aid if they vote.

In Berkeley County, W. Va., Democratic voters in the Eastern Panhandle received calls telling them they were not registered to vote. The County Clerk's office traced the calls back to the headquarters of the Eastern Pandhandle Republican Party, local NBC News affiliate Channel 25 reported on Oct. 8;

In Painesville, Ohio, newly registered voters signed up by the Kerry campaign and the NAACP received a letter telling them their registrations were illegal and they would not be able to vote, NBC affiliate WKYC Channel 3 reported on Oct. 28;

Twenty GOP-dominated Ohio counties have given false information to former felons that they could not vote when in fact they had legally had their voting rights restored. One, Franklin County, had a roughly thriteen hundred percent increase this year in supposedly "felony" voter registration cancelations, many of whom were in fact never felons. Oh, and speaking of Franklin county... you remember the notorious "Butterfly Ballot" from the 2000 Florida elections? The missleading form where votes for the candidate in one certain spot tend to accidently be given to the candidate in another certain spot? Well Franklin county used this butterfly ballot for absentee votes, and supprise of supprises, Kerry was placed in the slot that "loses" votes and Bush was placed in the slot that erroneously picks up extra votes. Way to go Franklin county!

In Madison, Wisc., the College Republicans and a Republican congressional candidate Dave Magnum took responsibility for distributing a flier erroneously stating that students at the University of Wisconsin could vote at any of five polling locations, according to a Nov. 1 report in The Capital Times;

Across pretty much all the swing states there are countless cases of fradulent Board Of Elections notices
