In Czech Republic Google Street View would like to expand its range in the Eastern European country. The Czech Republic is not allowing google to expand its street view range because they believe that it is an invasion of privacy. Many people say that the camera mounted on the car is too high, it is approximately nine feet tall, they say that it can peer over the fence of many people's homes, therefore invading there personal property. Many people also believe that their houses could be studied and invaded due to street view. Its not only Czech that google is having trust issues with there are many other European nations that don't like the idea of street view.
I agree with the Czech Republic, I feel that this is an invasion of privacy. I don't want random strangers looking at my house, for safety purposes. I feel that it also lowers the feeling of security of many people, for instance people can look at your house find a spot that is always open and plan a break in. Although google is trying to broaden the view of many people around the world, I personally don't really want to look at other peoples houses it doesn't interest me and I feel that it is un-neccecary to see what people have. Not only does it take pictures of houses and streets it takes pictures of cars on the street and cars in your drive way. For example people may have an expensive car and google may capture an image of this car therefore giving the impression that you are either wealty or erragant because they have an expensive car. People of the world get very jealous of what other people have. Giving them the urge to break in and steal things.
