stalk me.

The first thing that came into my head when i tried Google Street View wasn't "OMG I am appauled by this violation of privacy and what if i get stalked and kidnapped?! :O" though it did come to mind, but then I thought "What are the chances of that?". Personally, I think that this technology would be more useful for safety than to risk our privacy. Think about how helpful it would be to the police. I mean, sure everyone can easily see your neighbourhood, but SO WHAT? They could also do that when they drive down, might as well save gas right? We're going green! ;) Plus, the license plates and faces were blurred. Chances are, people would have the same car as you and no one would say "Hey, yea thats her/her car so thats where she is right now", that would be a stupid criminal move. I mean really, REALLY? If by some little coincidence I am in one of these street view photographs, I think it's safer than the picture of me up on the internet right now that doesnt have my face blurred. Makes you think who's really putting your privacy at risk, google or yourself, family, or friends. Kudos to google for inventing this and improving their mapping, this would be really helpful.
