"Nazis' Gestapo and the East German Stasi secret police" Ooops - it seems many people might not realize that Street View images are not live. There was also another statement in a newspaper here (Germany) where some police officers were considering if they could do virtual patrols. Misinformation leads to fear...

Not only will outdated pictures be a problem, but also the people living above your shop who opted out of Street View.
