Google's Street View Is All Up In Your Driveway Looking At Your Basketball Hoop (Consumerist)

A Pittsburgh couple has sued Google seeking the removal of photographs that were a little to up close and personal for their tastes.

The home of Janet and George McKee is the only property on Goldenbrook Lane, a narrow, gravel path off Oakleaf Lane, a two-way street. The McKee residence is at the end of Goldenbrook Lane, which the family was able to name at the time their home was built in 1993.

As the "Street View" images show, a Google vehicle—outfitted with a roof-mounted camera taking 360-degree images—drove down the gravel path and onto the paved driveway leading to the McKee home.

The Google car continued past the steps leading to the McKees's front door and came to a stop outside the house's three-car garage (and next to the family's trampoline and portable basketball rim).

Taking photos all the time, the Google vehicle was squarely on private property, a fact that presumably should have been apparent when the gravel path became paved.
