dogbone, you just need to be a little more careful about looking out for the cameras the next time you visit that store.

If you're worried about a picture of you being a perv at an adult store getting out on the internet, don't be a perv at an adult store ;)
 
Wow, I'm kind of glad there's no street level view of my town! :p You can see my apartment and the pool I swim at, but if you want to see me shirtless, you have to actually come over to the pool. ;)

What about him? He's just a dark silhouette. Like anyone could identify him from that photo. And what's "extremely risqué" about it? It says "Adult Book Store"? Oooh...

What was it originally intended for if not for spying on people?;)

I believe it was originally intended for people to visualize the roads and their destinations from the directions they received from Google Maps; however, Google also probably anticipated that it would be used for "spying."

Once this, "omg!!1! i JuSt saw some1 pickin there nose! lmao!" is no longer amusing, its original reason will probably be used more extensively (providing Google expands the service beyond the current areas).

huh? close up? outed?

i don't quite follow. whats so risque about an adult store? lets all point and laugh, right? i mean seriously, people go in there everyday i'm sure, so yeah i'd say its an everyday occurrence.

i don't understand this country's immature prudish values sometimes. but whatever. (note: thats not directed at anyone, just a generalization).

Ok, I'm confused. I'm with Dejo. Risqué? A picture of a man in front of a store that says "Adult Book Store". He's not even "doing" anything ... his hands are behind his back.

Or is it the search query you're worried about? You could fix that by removing the query from the URl - like this http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=...daC7dHzUSiqUQ&cd=2&cid=37802159,-122270047,10

I just peer through your window. Easier than waiting for you to go swimming.
