If street view did see someone entering a brothel so what? That person would still be unidentified. Even then somebody could still happen to drive past and see them.
If your in public people can photograph you without permission.
I don't see any "warning camera" signs as they are NOT a requirement. Taxi's and stores have them as a deterrent but most places don't have any signs for their camera's. Government CCTV certainly doesn't nor does my web-cam facing the street.
Lets say they took a picture of my house the day I stripped the paint off in preparation for new paint. There is my house enshrined forever in the way back machine looking like it is worth $100K less than it does today. That picture could stay around for years depressing the subjective value of the property
You cannot be serious.
When I sell a house I take photos of it to show people before they come to visit, if you tell someone "Just check my house on street view" then you don't deserve to make a successful sale.
There is nothing wrong with street view, personally I would prefer higher resolution. I know there is an issue of bandwidth but that will surely improve.
Google blurs numberplate's and faces. So I don't see how that is ever an issue.
They should have to ask before publishing it in the first place.
Why?
Get the fuck out of the way if you don't want to be in the shot. If I'm taking a photo of the street and you get in the way that's your fault, I have every right to take the photo.

Im not paranoid about the British government I don't give a crap what they do it their country.
My point is that street view is NOT cctv.

Your strawman argument is falling apart.
What exactly does google know about me, and how do they track me with street view?
A thing that prostitutes and drug addicts use for transport.
I did.
Or perhaps the bus will fail to stop at all.
How exactly do you cite a source for your own thought process.
So they know that at one point an unidentified person stood on a footpath somewhere.
WOW! I could have told were humans have once been without an internet connection.
so it's not different from any other photo?
My photos of China show the forbidden city covered in scaffolding.
Street view is nothing more than a photo gallery. Why should it be treated any different?

Following someone with a van seems inefficient.
This works better.

However street view cannot/does not track peoples movements.
Because CCTV is used to monitor and track peoples movements.
Who cares if google has the originals.
Who cares if they published the originals on street view.
Street view is not CCTV if it was people would not spend thousands of dollars on cameras.
You mean you cannot tell the difference between video and picture?

Street view is NOT high resolution.

They arn't obligated to remove anything, Google provides it as a courtesy service.
What if your not doing anything stupid?
If someone looks at my house on the internet they wont see the pile of trash currently sitting on the lawn.
Exactly, whiners are just looking for the latest wagon to jump on.
I want to see the residential areas, cities are boring. It's more interesting to see how the locals live, cities can get rather boring.
What makes you think someone in another country is interested in looking at your lawn. Your lawn is not that exciting to us.
