Fox news says: the River Head city municipality uses the Google Earth service to detect the houses with unauthorized swimming pools at their back yard!
The fox news website says in its report that people will no longer have privacy even at their back yards, since the authorities may be watching them using Google earth. J
This report says many of the city authorities use this program to monitor peoples’ houses and this is criticized strongly by the privacy supporters.
The city municipality has claimed that this is done to protect people from unsafe constructions and this is done by respecting the laws and regulations and using the internet which is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way.
Google Earth has also mentioned this and other similar stories in its weblog to inform the people about this issue, telling people that this can not be sued as a violation of privacy.
Another story of using Google Earth to enter peoples’ back yard privacy is the story of a man running a pool service company who used Google Earth to find houses with swimming pools to focus his advertising on them.
These internet services which often come to help of the users, some times can be offensive since they violate their privacy.
