Google Patents Image-Capturing Walking Sticks

theodp writes "GeekWire reports that Google has patented an image-capturing walking stick, which can boldly go where no Google Street View Car can. The walking stick has embedded cameras and location sensors, and a switch at the bottom that causes the device to snap pictures whenever the stick hits the ground. The patent also covers using canes and crutches in a similar fashion."

    wake up and realize that the fucking NSA is assembling data
    on all of you while hiding in plain sight in the form of
    Google and various other companies ?
