Re: Google Street view coming to India?

Bangalore Police have told Google to stop the cars clicking photos for Street View because of several restrictions on photography by foreigners or foreign firms in India.

We are paranoid - every bridge has a board - Photography Prohibited. Do they not know that you can click everything with an excellent resolution from a satellite. There is this story about one chap requesting NASA for a satellite photograph of his house. He was refused for security reasons. So he requested the Soviets, and and got a whole sheaf of pictures within a fortnight.

I thought the excuse in Bangalore was privacy!
