Google has been accused of "hypocrisy" over its stance on personal privacy. In court documents defending a lawsuit brought against its Street View mapping tool it has asserted that "complete privacy doesn't exist."But, points out the US National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) it responded to a Californian politician's concerns about its growth by saying that it "takes privacy very seriously". "Google's hypocrisy is breathtaking," said Ken Boehm, chairman of the NLPC.

I think Ken Boehm's lack of common sense is breathtaking.
If you look up hypocrisy in the dictionary you should expect to see a giant Google logo there. The sad thing is, the mockery of their "do no evil" crap has gone so far it's not even funny anymore.
C'mon Google clean your game up.. otherwise I see bad things happening in the future.. lol
and what "evil" has google done? they have a search page, ad service and map service. all of which millions of people happily use every day. have they ever abused your IP address they log? no. have they recorded what addresses you type into their maps and send spam to your house? no.
no, there wouldn't be. photographers have the right to take pictures of anyone and everyone in public space. of course it varies from state to state, but in california you can do it all day long. it's a matter of looking up your local laws and abiding by them. google has broken no laws
And from country to country.
