Google Street View

I really don’t understand the opposition to Google Street View. They say it’s a gross invasion of privacy, but Google is just taking the photo’s from the street, you see nothing that you wouldn’t see if you had been bothered to get up and go see!

As far as I see it if you were to ban Street View you should ban people been out on the street, there should be a curfew because the public should not be able to view things from public spaces. Now that is a restriction on civil liberty, not been able to take a photograph is another example (how do you get proof of a police officer doing something wrong). The protestors are barking up the wrong tree.

What’s the difference with Street View and someone who has a photographic memory?
