Google Street View is in more trouble

Google Street View is getting into more hot water over privacy matters as its cars drive around the world snapping various things at street level.


Already the service has snapped punters visiting ladies of easy virtue in Thailand and a comatose man sleeping off his grief over a friend's death.

Now it seems to have driven past a burning house on Eagle Point Drive in Sherwood, Arkansas.

After the picture started to show across the web, Google Maps pulled the picture.

However, as Valleywag pointed out, it is surprising that the drivers in the Google Street View car making the rounds in the area not only kept driving past the burning home, but took the assigned pictures without thinking there might be a few problems.
