What about this bit Islander? Thoughts?

So you want a life where journalists cannot film and report because it happens on private property?

As I said, they don't have to seek permission. It's pretty decent of them to fuzz out details if requested to be honest.

No, they don't have to seek permission. Should they have to?
Should the onus be on the property owner to check their service to see if there's anything like this they're not happy with?

I'm sure they do it out of motives of pure decency Laughing

It's a good point. Should a film crew have a responsibility to be careful about what they show that isn't directly connected with what they're filming for?
Tbh, I think most of them do consider that.
How do you answer the complainants here who feel the security of their property has been compromised by showing where they keep certain valuable items and how they are secured? What if they weren't users of Street View, and so didn't know about the 'compromise'?

And you know me Nobby - I'm looking forward to the socialist utopia! Laughing

It comes back to the whole making things difficult for the scummers. People Will spend 100 quid on a.chain but a 10 quid tarpaulin attached to the fence hides the bike entirely.

Of course it's not a good idea to leave valuable items badly secured in full view. But what really struck me was that they had raised the camera so that it overlooked people's property boundaries, e.g. fences. Surely if they're going to do that, they ought to be more careful about what they show? It's a bit different to just showing the front of a house with a tidy garden or front yard. It means they had breached what would otherwise have kept valuable items out of view. So now they've got to go further?

Nope, the law is fine as it stands.

Owners/renters/leasers whatever should secure valuable items and take whatever security measures are appropriate. Asking for areas to be fuzzed out is purely the responsibility of the individual.

I didn't say they did it out of decency. It's good PR though and probably extends from countries with more draconian privacy laws than ours.

Satellites and drones... it depends on where the images are published and how clear they are.
But ok, it's not a problem, fair enough. Smile
B1N, the consensus is you have no grounds for complaint.

Would any reasonable expectation of privacy stop at things someone could see standing on the public highway?

Isn't complaining about someone seeing your bikes on streetview the equivalent of standing in the front window in the buff and complaining that someone looked at your tonker?

This is what made me comment:

I don't have a problem with the front of the house being shown but I live on a corner plot with a 6ft fence down the side of the property, the google cam looks right over the fence and shows practically all of our back garden and everything in it, including my bike.

They must have raised the height of their cameras because it wasn't a problem with the old images which have now been replaced.


But you're a bit late to the party - we've established that this is ok.

My bike can't be seen by the average person just walking by.

For anyone, (who isn't extremly tall), to see it they would have to be standing on a chair or pointing a camera on a selfie stick over the fence, neither of which are socially acceptable really.

A combination of Vue cinemas and the Halifax have toasted my fucking cheese today. I get a cinema ticket with
my bank account each month, I'm down with the family and have a years worth of these cinema codes to use
because I don't ever go out. Thought I'd use a few up to take my sister & the kids to see Avatar 2 tomorrow. First of
all I had to open a bastard account with Vue Evil or Very Mad , irritation level mild but increasing. Then I couldn't find the box
to enter the discount codes, then the page refreshed and I had to start again... Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad irritation level warming
up now. Started again, during the faff had lost one of the final 4 VIP seats available when I started the process,
Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad now I have got the bloody hump... Started YET again choosing four different seats, trying to call my
sister at the same time to tell her we had lost the VIP seats. Then I realised with 5 seconds remaining that the
booking page has a FUCKING timer on it, cue another refresh and me about to launch my laptop out of the window.
Started the process for a fourth time, because I'd like to completely lose the plot today as well as go to the cinema
tomorrow... Manage to get right to the end of the process and after allowing me to enter four different codes, one
for each ticket in a krypton factor style timed challenge and the CUUUUNTING Vue website informs me I can
only redeem one of them. NOT what it says on the email I have with the code on it which says explicitly that you
can save them up and redeem them in multiples. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad FUUUCK this shit.

Attempt number five, by this time I want to gouge my own eyes out and punch the screen on my computer. I
have decided "BOLLOCKS I'll just pay for the fucking tickets". Now the VIP seats are somehow magically available again
so I press on and get them allocated to me, checkout time so I decide to use just one of the codes which are alleged to
be for any seat I want including VIP. The Vue website decides to reallocate one of the four seats I wanted to a
standard one on the other side of the cinema AARGGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Evil or Very Mad Attempt six and guess what, the four VIP
have bloody gone again prompting another call to my sister. I don't even want to talk to anybody at this point, the
air is blue and I'm swearing in ways my mother didn't know I could. Attempt 7 and the VIP seats are back so I just paid
for the fucking lot before it cost me a laptop as well as my final remaining badly shredded nerve. The entire
'quick and easy online booking' process has taken well over an hour and a half and I'm 50 quid down despite
having 20 odd free cinema tickets I apparently can't fucking use. This film better be good. I'm off for a lie down.
