First
Google street view lawsuit
in the USA: Boring v.
Google
Google allegedly took pictures from what was
labeled as “private property” for its Street View Feature. So, Aaron and
Christine Boring filed suit in Allegheny County court on April 2, 2008. They are
demanding $25,000 to make up for the "mental suffering" and the diminished value
of their home. Google claims that this lawsuit is pointless since anyone can ask
them to have pictures removed without legal action. You can watch some of the
pictures of the property and the complaint
