Just out of curiosity, what type of privacy do you expect from a car driving down the street?
Lucky for the Swiss!
Google and “Street View”, neither of them are necessary.
We got along fine, in many ways better, before they came along.
It’s disgusting that so much of our “New Tech” and new wealth revolves around creating more ways to waste peoples time.
I’ve stopped even trying to keep up with these “App’s” I am not a Twit(er) user, don’t steal music, etc.

Well...almost every Swiss house has a military grade rifle and 100 rounds....just give them open season to shoot out the google-vans....good target pratice....aim small miss small....aim for the camera lens on to of the vehicle.
Provide anonymity or we’ll attack you with the little white toothpick thingies from our army knives! Unless of course if they aren’t already lost!
I like street view. It’s nice going into a neighborhood you haven’t been to for a while, see the landmarks for the turn. Especially nice for some chunks of Marana that like to stick the road signs way far away from the cross street so they’re nearly impossible to read. There’s no right to privacy out on the public street, or viewable from the public street.
If you want that kind of privacy, there are ways to build it. As for those who aren’t concerned about it, let them live without it.
Some of the following suggestions might work best in rural areas, and others, anywhere. A few hints to put the creepers off:
* Build fences or walls for looky-loos to look at.
* Mount your own cameras w/ software motion detection connected to remote servers for auto-uploads. Store pictures of looky-loos. Get their identities. On private roads, they can be prosecuted for trespassing.
* Mount utility poles to near maximum heights for solar lights and cameras (see nuisances w/ rotary wings). Check local codes first. Practice a model rocketry hobby while taking safety precautions for low-flying sightseers.
* Plant some trees.
* Build screened or netted breezeways between living areas and work areas.
* Build speed bumps on your private roads, or have them built on your streets. If you have private roads, prosecute the trespassers.
* Use your imaginations. Find more ideas, and share them with others concerned about privacy.
