Google Street Views - Incredible or Scary?
Google takes it's mapping technology one step further with the recent release of Street View. The new feature allows users to navigate city streets in a 3D street-level perspective with panoramic imagery.
Privacy issues have surfaced by many who claim that Street View captures potentially embarrassing scenes and other details by people who have not given consent for Google to display such images (ex. license plate number, someone caught picking their nose, etc.).

So far Google's Street View is only available in San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas, Miami, and Denver. However, the addition of more locations is underway.
