I was under the impression that there was no expectation of privacy in public, but perhaps I don't quite understand where this guy was sleeping it off.
This wasn't a "privacy issue" story, but about a driver ignoring either a dead body on the street or someone in serious difficulty with a possible injury. More a "what kind of contractors does Google hire" story.
No I understand that part of it, but I have no idea how much a Google Earth driver has to do while he's driving. I won't go as far as saying I've swung by dead bodies as I drove, but I don't really pay attention to things off the roadway from my line of driving. I can only assume that the Google Earth guy is similar, but distracted.

Not making excuses for the driver or the pedestrian here, but obviously something needs to change. Those Aussies love a good beer.
