Mercy, Merci

A Frenchman is pissed at Google.  And pissed at his flowers.

Oh, that's on his flowers.

The man's name hasn't been released, but he is suing for damages after a human-operated street view car captured him peeing outside.  He has been recognized, and feels he is the laughingstock of his hometown.  He is asking for 10,000 euros (a little over $13,000 in US dollars) for his pain and suffering.

Sorry, pal.  If you pee outside, you give up any expectation of privacy.  Any jogger, driver or passerby could have seen that image, and if he did it in sight of a car that is his problem.  The person and equipment that caught him wasn't aiming for him, he was a background in a nature shot.  It just turned out to be a lot more "natural" than intended.

Better luck, try again next time.
