We’ve been covering the case of a couple named Boring (no, seriously, that’s their last name) who got upset and sued Google<\/a> after they found pictures of their house in Google’s Street View offering — even though Google lets anyone remove images they dislike. The couple claimed that the images invaded their privacy and devalued their home (how an accurate photo could devalue the home is an open question). The case was quickly dismissed<\/a>, but the Borings appealed<\/a>, in lovely language about how this was about Google trampling on their right to privacy. The appeals court has thrown out most of the case, but actually is allowing the claim of trespassing to move forward in the lower court<\/a>. Indeed, many did point out in our comments that it appeared that the Google vehicle may have driven onto the Borings’ driveway in the process of photographing the home. Of course, proving any actual damage<\/i> from the trespass may prove a bit more difficult.<\/p>\n
