- frabbit 2y agoSure, someone could simply walk or drive by your home and scope out where you live, but Google Maps lets them do it easily -- from their couch. Anyone with a phone or computer can do it. So someone(s) is already interested enough in you that they are going to be thwarted by "oh noes, it`s not on google"? Seems like a weak invitation to the weak-minded to destroy a useful visual aid to a navigation tool.

(Google streetview) Seems like a weak argument to allow exploitation. Consider being dropped from your insurance policy because the insurance company used a google image of your roof or structure.
