"Leave Us Alone!" Shouts Couple Seeking Google Martyr Status

streetview.jpg Western Pennsylvania couple Aaron and Christine Boring only want privacy. Why else do you think they bought a home with a long, private driveway to keep snoops away? Then Google, with its Street View mapping feature, went and allegedly violated their privacy, by sending a camera-equipped van on the Borings' private road and snapping pics of their house.

Google's talking heads say any homeowner's request to have images removed from their database would be honored, but it's unclear whether the couple ever made such a request.

Instead, they've filed a lawsuit against the search giant.

"Isn't litigation the only way to change a big business' conduct with the public?" asks attorney Dennis Moskal. Perhaps. It's also the best way not to stay out of the public eye.
