In reply to the discussion: Google fined $2000 for street view clevage shot [View all]Orrex
(66,570 posts)26. Doesn't the use of the ticket waive certain claims of privacy?
I thought that was part of the purchase/use agreement. If you show up on the jumbotron while doing something embarrassing (a la George Costanza) you can't sue the park or the media for it, since you're explicitly putting yourself in plain and public sight by being there.
Very different from this woman being photographed while on her own private property.
Of course, a $2000 fine is invisible to Google. It might mean that they can only stock their employees' olive bar at 99% capacity instead of 100% for a few days.

Actually, it's pretty simple to have Google blank you off street view.

It should be illegal to take pictures of someone else's private property or them

Did you get permission to post a picture of a seven-year old girl on the internet?

That picture was already in the public domain, already published in a paper.

Kind of ironic that when I click the link you provided I get to see this woman's cleavage.

I am starting to think that a burqa might not be such a bad fucking idea after all.
