Google Sued Over Privacy Invasion On Street View
mikkl666 writes "A couple from Pittsburgh has sued Google because a photo of their house appeared on Google Street View. They are demanding in excess of $25,000 to make up for the 'mental suffering' and the diminished value of their home. Their street is apparently marked with a 'Private Road' sign, and they claim that putting a photo of their property online is an 'intentional and/or grossly reckless invasion' of their privacy. Google, on the other hand, claims that this lawsuit is pointless since anyone can ask them to have pictures removed without legal action. We've previously discussed some of the privacy concerns surrounding Street View."
Why should they have listened to you? You don't want into job interviews and start making demands of the company.
How dare you criticize our indexing Overlords! I will report you to the Politburo!

Isn't trespassing already illegal? If so, then a sign saying 'no trespassing' doesn't mean anything. It implicitly means that going on this road is trespassing, but does implicitly meaning something mean anything by law?
