Frenchman sues over Google Views urination photo

 

 

A Frenchman took Google to court Thursday over a photo published online by its Street View application showing him urinating in his front yard which he believes has made him the laughing stock of his village in rural northwest France.

The man, who is aged around 50 and lives in a village of some 3,000 people in the Maine-et-Loire region, is demanding the removal of the photo, in which locals have recognized him despite his face being blurred out.

He also wants 10,000 euros ($13,300) in damages.

“Everyone has the right to a degree of secrecy,” his lawyer, Jean-Noel Bouillard, told Reuters. “In this particular case, it’s more amusing than serious. But if he’d been caught kissing a woman other than his wife, he would have had the same issue.”

Google Inc.’s Street View, covering some 30 countries and available in France since 2008, enables users of Google Maps to also view photos of streets taken by its camera cars, which have cameras hoisted on frames on their roofs.

The man thought he was hidden from view by his closed gate as he relieved himself in November 2010. But Google’s lens caught him from above his gate as it passed by. Bouillard did not explain why the man chose to urinate outside.

Google’s lawyer in the case, named by local daily Ouest France as Christophe Bigot, was not immediately reachable, but the newspaper said he was pleading that the case should be declared null and void.

The court, in the nearby city of Angers, is due to give its verdict on March 15. ($1 = 0.7501 euros)

Your daily horoscope

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Desire is not a dirty word. Desire is natural. Desire is good. Once you accept that fact you will find it so much easier to enjoy all the good things that life is now sending your way. Enjoy them, but don’t overindulge.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Make an effort to be nice to people this week and they will make an even bigger effort to be nice to you. Someone in a position of power will be impressed by your positive attitude – and reward you accordingly.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Venus moves into your birth sign today, bringing both love and luck with it. Visualize what you would most like to happen. Hold that thought every minute of the day. Very soon your wish will come true.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You can and you must banish all thoughts of failure from your mind today and throughout the week ahead. Your mind creates your reality, so make sure you focus on the good things in life. There’s plenty of them.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You may get a bit emotional today. You may also find yourself saying words that would normally get stuck in your throat. And that’s good because it’s high time you told someone you love them.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You won’t be in the mood to try too hard today but that’s okay because the people you live and work with will be happy to do things for you. Will you take advantage? Of course you will – and you should.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

You seem to be moving on a higher mental and emotional level than usual. An idea that others say is impractical will inspire you to put other plans on hold. Focus all your energies in that one meaningful direction.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

No matter how badly you have fallen out with a friend or family member you can still patch things up – but you’ve got to act now. They are as eager as you are to get things back to how they were before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You are at one with the world – and the world is at one with you. It’s not often that you encounter smiles from everyone you meet, so make the most of it. The frowns will creep back as the week wears on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

If life isn’t moving exactly how you want it to move then you cannot be trying hard enough. A little bit of extra effort now will pay dividends later on, so stop wasting time and get on top of your workload.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Venus, planet of emotional and material values, is moving in your favour and almost immediately you will notice that life is both lighter and brighter. Attitude is everything and your attitude is just perfect today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

If your head tells you one thing and your heart tells you another it is your head you must listen to. Mercury, planet of ideas, links to your ruler Uranus, opening new pathways in your mind. You are touched by genius.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

You know that what you are doing is right. You know that you are on the right track. You may not be able to explain it rationally but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that you believe in your mission.
