Woman Sues Google Over Street View Shots of Her Underwear

Posted by samzenpus on from the airing-your-clean-laundry dept.

Kittenman writes "The Telegraph (and several US locals) are covering a story about a Japanese woman who had her underwear on the line while the Google car went past. She is now suing Google: 'I was overwhelmed with anxiety that I might be the target of a sex crime,' the woman told a district court. 'It caused me to lose my job and I had to change my residence.'"

    She wasn't wearing them at the time, so who cares?

      IANAL = I am not a Lawyer
      LoL = Laugh out Loud

      This = Indubitably my good sir! Your clever insight and concise conveyance of the subject matter at hand was quite enjoyable and I agree with your statement in every facet that one might be agreeable.

    I know many people are saying that she should not have left them out to dry in public view. She made her mistake long before that.

    She is in Japan. She shouldn't have washed them in the first place; instead she could have sold them for a nice profit.
