If your street was to come up in Google Street View, would you think that it is worth a lawsuit, well a couple is now suing Google. Aaron C. and Christine A. Boring are to sue Google as an image of their house is coming up on Google Maps Street View; they say that as the road is private it is reckless conduct on Google’s part.

The problem that the Boring couple faces is that there is no Private Road sign on their street and all information about their house is available from Allegheny County Web site. However the couple might have a case, as it is illegal to take picture of people’s houses. This is protected by the First Amendment
