Woman Found 43 Times on Google Street View
A UK woman wondered why the camera-mounted car was casing her neighborhood.
A man in the UK is claiming that he found images of his wife 43 times on Google Street View. According to Softpedia, 55-year old Terry was actually looking for images of himself, but instead came across multiple shots of his wife Wendy walking their dog, Trixie.
Both beloved wife and pet were out taking a much-needed stroll at the same time the Street View car came creeping by with its towering camera. Ultimately the Google camera car drove along with Wendy and Trixie for almost half a mile in the village of Elmswell, Suffolk, capturing the duo in 43 shots.
Naturally Google performed its privacy duties by blurring out her face, however now she's been exposed to the world thanks to The Sun.
"When Terry showed me I couldn't believe it," she told The Sun in regards to the total count of pictures. "I didn't know what it was doing. It was just driving round very, very slowly."
Guess privacy is out the door now, eh?

Wow... I'm impressed you were even able to find a story like this.
...media these days.
o.O
Now that is what I call invasion of privacy, they could have easily retaken the same rout after she had gone and no one else was in view.
Google = Big Brother
It must have drive very slowly

Yeah, because she's so important to keep tabs on to make sure she's walking her dog properly. Google = Power Trip = What Money Will Do To You = Reality Check = I Am The Guy Driving The Google Maps Car = I Am Awesome = Must I go on?
Like omgz i was walking my dog in public, and got video taped omgz no privacy! THE WORLD IS ENDING 2012 is on its way!
and again Tom is using the sun as a reliable news source...
And.. who gives a crap? "In tomorrow's news, some guy in nevada has picture taken 76 times (and in one he is scratching his butt)."

Sounds like she exposed herself... since she brought it to the attention of The Sun... And her husband was the one who pointed it out in the first place...
There is no privacy in public.
You are vidoetaped while banking, shopping, driving, doing laundry, at work, etc. Want to e private, stay home.
wow the next Susan Boyle??
Good thing the dog did take a crap on the side walk or something.
That would have been embarrassing.
Yet you decided to keep walking with a white van with massive cameras mounted on the top?
Honestly I don't think this is that big of a deal, I'd be pretty impressed if they felt I was important enough to be on Google Street View 43 times.
That might be impressive if it wasn't 43 consecutive shots (or even in the same neighborhood).
It would be impressive if it had taken her mug in 43 different countries and someone found them all.

That doesn't mean there shouldn't be.
That doesn't mean there shouldn't be.
What "should be" and what "is" are two seperate concepts.
But let's take your arguement. Now there is a right to privacy in public. You can no longer be videotapped anywhere. So when you get robbed in a bank, street, store, etc (I hope this doesn't happen, just an example) don't worry about to criminal's privacy. You have given the criminal a right to privacy so there are no tapes to review. Good luck catching them with eye witnesses.
Now, I do believe in privacy(whole-heartily) and wholly adovacate for more. But I also understand that there is no privacy in public.
"Guess privacy is out the door now, eh?"
Privacy... in a Public place....mkay
British people... What more can you say?
I would of got my d**k out!
British people... What more can you say?
Take it elsewhere... we're not all that bad.
I agree with rdawise. There is no privacy in public. Perfect example is if you're having sex in public then you're being far from discreet about it.
So what's the Big Ucking Deal?
so they went to a newspaper with the story ... I guess they were not concerned about their privacy ... not even an interesting story ... just maybe for the fact that the google folks were too stupid to stop for a few minutes and let her walk away ...
and again Tom is using the sun as a reliable news source...
You're saying The Sun isnt reliable?!
/sarcasm
There is no such thing as privacy on the Internet.
Privacy? The person is walking around in a public place. Hint: People can see you! That and she saw that the thing had a big camera on it, so its not like its secretly photographing anyone.
The Sun should NEVER be used as a source, never.
Was she standing on a corner in each shot?
"According to Softpedia, 55-year old Terry was actually looking for images of himself"
.... Why?
Sigh... Slow people. I hope they don't go and try sue Google now.
sooooo if they are concerned about appearing on the internet why are they not complaining about the Sun having a close up her????
