Google Maps: Street View.

Google Maps: Street View is an online website that lets you explore places around the world with a “360 degree street level imagery”.  
Google Maps, Street View zooms in too much.

Google Maps: Street View catches people at embarrassing and personal positions.  These positions may be in public, but they do not want everyone to be able to view them or have access to them easily for a long amount of time. Also, people have created a website called wired.com where others can vote for the best in urban image. The young ladies were voted number one in 2010.
Google Maps: Street View gives anyone easy access to view the outside of your home.  "Critics say it invites abuse.  They argued that thieves could use it to identify targets, security firms could use it to pitch sales, job seekers might find their homes scrutinized by employers, and banks could inspect the homes of loan applicants" (NBC News)


 Google Maps: Street View gives anyone easy  access to view what is considered 'private property'. 


Google Maps: Street View lets you view the New York Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.  (After the Sept. 11 attacks  cameras became banned in the tunnel)
