I noticed Google Earth has found it's way into private roadways. These roads are not city or county maintained but privately owned and maintained by the property owners. Can GE legally publish street views of properties on private roads? I also notice that they aren't blurring out address numbers or names on mailboxes like they used to. When you can tell if cherry tomatoes in someone's garden are ripe or not, that's too close and personal.
Unless Google can open gates, your ‘private’ drives and roads ain’t private.
Just sayin’.
That sounds like prima facie evidence of trespassing.
If you want to ask the prosecutor to do that for you.
But I’m no lawyer.
You’re out of milk.
They were photographing military bases until the military put a stop to it. I believe it stopped after they found a terrorist organization was researching a base.
I suspect that until somebody sues and wins they’ll keep at it, private or no.
Has to be posted “No Trespassing” or the Google folks told to beat it and they refuse to leave.
Think of all the stars’ private weddings! The road is only two dimensionally private. From the air, not much is private. You could try building some Quonset huts.

I can Zoom Down to My House, in Charlevoix, Michigan, and see My House, and My Privately Owned Road, From U.S. 31.
My 2003 Dodge Hemi Ram Pickup is in the Driveway, as is My 1987 Chevy Plow Truck.
So, Yes, apparently, Google Earth can go anywhere.
Absolutely.
It’s trespassing.
Not if they make past the claymore’s...
Too funny!
Are they the Google Earth satellite pictures or the Google Map road level van pictures? If the former there’s no problem because nothing traverse the private road. The later depends on how private road is, is it marked, is it gated, or do people just know.
But not street view. . .I think. That would require them to actually be on your land.
Google,aerial and ground..Hmmmm may be 2 different issues here?
That tomato if in a ground lvl horizontal shot I think would be “trespass”.
Ha, funny! And it would be funnier if it wasn't so true.
Yep. If you want it to be private, it’s your responsibility to make a reasonable effort to keep the public out.
