Legally, how did Google get consent to post your house on their website

[itsyoung!!]

I didnt sign no damn waiver

did you ?

how is this even legal ?

and in some of the photos it got people in them, I know they didnt sign no waiver to have they picture taken and published

Can you decline to have your house on there?

how does this not violate some kind of privacy law?

You don't own the land only the house on it

 

[concise]

It's just the picture of the house only, nothing more.

And anytime you're in the street, there's a likelihood that you're being recorded by someone, business or residential. What are you going to do?

Negative. When you pay taxes you pay taxes on the size of the lot.

@TS the reason why this is legal is that the picture was taken from a public location (i.e. the street). Anything that is able to be photographed from a public location is free for any and anybody to possess. Which is why street photographers dont have to ask you they can just snap a pic of your snotty b*stard on the train and you cant do jack about it.

I think Germany has it where its citizens can choose to have their house numbers not show up on Google maps. Actually, it's only the cities there you can pull up on street view.

You do own the land your house is on...

What's funny is things that aren't even government owned are blacked out, like Bohemian Grove.

This is true, that's why any sex-deprived male can go around shooting photos up-skirts of bytches, they can't do shyt about it if they're in public.
