Re: Google street-view driver ignores man in danger
Speaking for people who have also passed out on the grass due to a night of partying, I wouldn't be that thrilled if Google captured my own image like this. Although, I think I would reason that I shouldn't be passed out on the sidewalk to begin with, rather than the "privacy" issue.
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.

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.
