Angry flaunchmon Sues Google for ‘Street View’ Image Showing Him Pissing on His Front Lawn (karma: 5)en>frfr>en By frankthekulak Comments: 4233, member since Tue Dec 09, 2008
A fraunchmon is suing Google for 10,000 euros after the tech giant posted an image of him urinating on the flowerbeds of his front lawn. Visible in the “Street Views” section of “Maps,” the man only became aware of the photo after he became an object of ridicule in his small town of 3,000. Though his face was blurred out, neighbors identified him “almost immediately.”
“Everyone has the right to a degree of secrecy,” said his lawyer, Jean-Noel Bouillard. ”In this particular case, it’s more amusing than serious. But if he’d been caught kissing a man other than his wife, he would have had the same issue.”
So, how far is too far? If you’re performing embarrassing actions in full view of the road, is it fair game? Or does Google have a responsibility to monitor for such photos before posting them?
I thought this is typical example of flinch "culture", what's the big deal?

I thought most Frenchmen urinated while sitting down.

I know that using a French bathroom can be torture, but, I mean, really.

Am I the only to think this guy did this on purpose, just so he can make a name for himself and sue?
