Google Describes Wi-Fi Sniffing In Pending Patent
theodp writes "After mistakenly saying that it did not collect Wi-Fi payload data, Google had to reverse itself, saying, 'it's now clear that we have been mistakenly collecting samples of payload data from open (i.e. non-password-protected) Wi-Fi networks.' OK, mistakes happen. But, as Seinfeld might ask, then what's the deal with the pending Google patent that describes capturing wireless data packets by operating a device — which 'may be placed in a vehicle' — in a 'sniffer' or 'monitor' mode and analyzing them on a server? Guess belated kudos are owed to the savvy Slashdot commenter who speculated back in January that the patent-pending technology might be useful inside a Google Street View vehicle. Google faces inquiries into its Wi-Fi packet sniffing practices by German and US authorities."
Evolution gave up on niggers eons ago when it became apparent that niggers were a waste of time. Since then niggers have been stuck in time as a sub-human species, chosen for extinction by natural selection. Niggers have injected themselves into countries and societies around the world where they do not belong and are not wanted. For niggers, this is the only way they can survive, by demanding gibs muh dat everywhere they go and never contributing to that support or that society. For humans, natural selection can’t wipe niggers from the face of the Earth fast enough.
Niggers like to claim they have made important additions to society wherever they have gone. But humans don’t count quadrupled numbers of murder, rape, robbery, and all violent crime as valuable additions. Welcome to nigger logic.
When humans seek to decrease crime there are a few ways to go about it. Decrease the number of niggers in an area, and crime will decrease massively across the board. This is proven with DOJ statistics. The cities in the U.S. with the lowest crime are cities with the lowest number of niggers. Legally carrying a concealed weapon has helped to lower crime rates too even in cities with high percentages of niggers. Shanequa or Tyrell don’t want to git done kilt an sheeit while takin’ whitey’s wallet, gnomesayin?
In Detroit, nigger ground zero, they look at things a bit differently. Instead of learning from whitey and helping natural selection along by getting rid of themselves, niggers think banning TV news crews will prevent crime. Since niggers always blame anything other than themselves, and Detroit is more nigger fuxated than South Africa, the mayor has no choice than to blame TV crews and their cameras. Because a nigger mayor blaming niggers would make no sense at all. Nigger logic must be applied.

Capturing and doing various tricks to strip headers, reassemble payloads, and otherwise dither with wired and wireless packets in fixed and non-stationary ways has been done since before Sergi Brin was out of diapers. I'm guessing that prior art eats their expensive lunch.
Of course, the not-invented-here syndrome coupled to over-paid internal IP attorneys will argue contrarily.

But following your line of thought, I should reason that if I don't want Google to film me in my own street, then I shouldn't go outside.
No. By follow his line of thought, you should reason that if you go outside yelling "free money" and throwing dollar bills on the ground, that people will follow you and pick them up.
Don't publicly advertise a service if you don't want it open to the public. Duh.
