        Google might or might not know where I live but if I send them a utility bill from my Google account then they definitely know where I live.

          If you own your house, most states in the US publish a GIS map where that information is public.

    Everyone does know that the front of your house is visible from the street, right?

        Yes and some people would do away with the 1st amendment right to public photography entirely. That doesn’t make it right…

          Oh shit! I never knew we had access to the first amendment in Europe. (I also have no fucking idea what the first amendment is).

          I’m not from the US so care little for the constitution. What is in the constitution and what is right are two different things.

            Okay this one has always cracked me up.

            The constitution people always love talking about the amendments like they’re gospel. But like, if the constitution was so great, why do you care about the changes to it? If we make a new amendment does it instantly become as sacred emotionally to them?

    So Google takes new photos periodically. We use them for legal evidence.

    Also, burglars are using Google maps? That’s funny.

    This is why I prefer living a quarter mile up a private road. Just a few years in and already if I see a car I don’t recognize I stand from my rocking chair and a ask wifey to grab the gun.
