Google Maps Torino (Mine) Reply #3 – February 19, 2011, 01:37:16 AM everyone of you are stupid if you think this is cool. give it a little while and you'll eventually see im right.When they tried that at my house, I litteraly took the camera from the "STATE PAID" and welfare funded (ie- general fund) person and smashed it and told them that when they decided to drive up a piece of land 2000 feet long called my drive way to take a picture and not even knock on the door to let me know anything, they were asking for trouble. No introduction or anything they show up and insist they can take pictures.The idiot reached in his pocket so I showed my gun, the idiot then said im just getting my cell phone so I informed said idiot that I cant "know" that when you move that quickly. The idiot gave me a rash for destroying his camera and started running off at the mouth so ,, I pulled the bronco down to the point where this idiot could not leave the driveway blocking it. Yep I own the road.I called the police and informed them there is someone claiming they work for "homeland security" working on the "mapping west virginia" project but thier cheezy name tag piece of paper held on with a diaper pin didnt look like good use of tax dollars and that I dont trust this person. Please come here quick.The police never showed , I allowed the idiot to use my phone to call whomever and whine a little then i moved my truck and they didnt come back, nor did anyone follow up with me.THis little feature of google might be cool to all you and its privacy intrusion may not be in your control due to property line issues but dont give it away.I know everything about this decade long project, every ounce of it. It has very little to do with homeland security and a whole lot more to do with sales and information gathering which becomes for sale to any vendor in the world who wants to buy it. What you all dont know is the real time mapping available..... and the recent "oppsie" google had with respect to the nyse. meanwhile google et' all are in private discussions with our temporary leader discussing the internet now in california.so yea, ,,right,, its cool.

Google Maps Torino (Mine) Reply #4 – February 19, 2011, 01:51:24 AM I agree that driving up your driveway, more like a private road really, is crossing some lines. I think the pic of the Torino is cool though being it's on a public street. Not much you can say about privacy when you live close to the street like that. I live behind 300 feet of giant yellow bamboo. I have to run off "tourists" all the time that thought it was cool so they decided to drive back and see it up close. Have these people never watched any movies where people disappear for doing stuff like that? Good on you for running off the joker taking pictures of your private property. These people seriously need to learn how to respect boundaries. Quote Selected

Always the consipiracy theorist! lol...As long as they are in the street taking pictures and not looking in my windows, I don't see a problem. I use Google Earth streetview for work all the time showing our delivery drivers which house to go to. Its very handy. Quote Selected
Google Maps Torino (Mine) Reply #7 – February 19, 2011, 10:13:48 AM Scott, is there anywhere you can read about this hidden agenda of google/nyse/whatever? But on topic, what a nice memory back to before she had to get her front end redone :) Quote Selected
Google Maps Torino (Mine) Reply #8 – February 19, 2011, 11:54:23 PM yeah,, like im capable of backing up anything i say with fact.its already been determined that i posted a "consiracy" and an "agenda" and let i remind the crew these words are reserved typically for thoses who feel like stiring a pot of the typically more informed people.so now the the burden of proof is off my plate , Its no secret i stated facts,, soime people cant even be spoon fed facts, they have to live through them before they get it.thats the difference in being aware of your surroundings and not being open minded enough to allow all information into your relm of thoughts and considerations.I happen to be the most open minded person on the planet.now here is where I become a problem........................I am so open minded to everything that I have prefromed conclusions based on historical trends. Why would I have historical trends you say?? because i pay attention to whats going on around me.So when I spout off about something that even remotely sounds like i have a preformed conclusion, its based on the actions or past trends of the situation at hand.That unto itself does not seem to be unfair at all, it actually is rational and reasonable thinking.,,which is becoming more popular thinking lately.so hope there was no offense taken, just saying people should be informed by way of ***ALL*** sources of information, thats all.

Google Maps Torino (Mine) Reply #10 – February 20, 2011, 06:52:50 AM Google Street View does not show anything that any person on Earth cannot go and look at themselves. Somebody from Australia, a perfect stranger (and even worse, a *gasp* foreigner) can fly here, get into a car, drive down your road, and look right at your house. They will see your cars, your lawn, your curtains, and if they happen to be outside playing, your children as well. Street view merely saves them the airfare and prevents them flicking cigarette butts into your garden.On a similar note, why is it perfectly normal to drive your car wherever you want, into cities big and small, and show your license plate to anyone who cares to give it a glance, but the moment a pic of it is posted online the plate must be blocked out? (And I am guilty of doing this myself, without thinking it through, only because everyone else does). What are people afraid of? Do they think some slimeball is going to somehow use their plate number to steal their identity? And if so, do they think that these slimeballs exist only on the internet and not in their home town? Why don't they cover up their tags when driving around town? Quote Selected

It just makes people feel uncomfortable. Quote Selected
Google Maps Torino (Mine) Reply #14 – February 20, 2011, 11:21:53 AM ...and yet hundreds, if not thousands of people see that same plate in front of the house when they drive by (unless you're paranoid enough to cover it whenever you park)... Quote Selected
