its people like you that are subtly killing privacy too
And it's people like you who are overtly killing freedom of speech and expression.

If you dont want to be photographed in a humiliating position, then don't do humiliating things in plain view of public property.

Your private property isn't public. Google goes even as far as driving up your private road to take photos of you by your pool.

Yeah, it's a big conspiracy by google! They're sneaking onto all of our private property in order to document our activities. It's not possible or likely that the private road they turned onto wasn't clearly marked as private, so they mistook it for a public road.

While I do agree that it was stupid of them to photograph on private property AND illegal for them to publish the pictures, that's not what S_engineer is talking about. He thinks that it is (or should be) illegal for anyone to photograph anyone on public property, and is telling photographers that they're "whats wrong with this country HURRRR GODDERM TERRIST!".

"Private road" =/= you own it and nobody else can drive on it. It means it's paid for by the community. That does not preclude driving on that road. As stated, as long as they're not invading places where you DO have a defensible right to privacy - your living room/driveway/backyard, for example - you have no complaint.

That they did, is the problem.

It should be if it's used to make a profit off of it; and if it's done to invade a person's privacy.

We're not public figures afterall.

Nope, it's laid by you or made by paying someone else to lay the road for you. Be it a dirt or asphalt. It's yours, and not to be used by third parties.

It does if it has a no trespassing sign around the property (doesn't even need to be posted near the road even).

No trespassing means -- stay off the property.

And like all road signs, the excuse "I didn't see it!" doesn't apply (try telling a cop that when you drive 60mph in a 30mph zone!).

So when the postal carrier brings you your mail every day, and UPS/FedEx/DHL brings you packages, they're breaking the law? And don't give me the "permission" argument, because a postal carrier can bring you anything, even that which you did not implicitly give them permission to deliver.

The way I see it, a TRULY private road is fronted by a locked gate. That's a bonafide sign to anyone that you are not go beyond that point.
