Are you ever a little concerned that the guys driving around in the Google Street View van might be catching more of your life on camera than you'd like? Well, Switzerland is.

Swiss privacy official Hanspeter Thuer argues that Google's Street View camera is an invasion of privacy that shows more than a normal passerby would be able to see from the road due to the height of its camera above hedges and fences.

Google Street View has caught a number of indiscretions on camera--like this fire truck hitting an elderly woman on a bike--but I don't see it being a major invasion of privacy.

This image has since been removed, but it doesn't change the fact that the Google Street View camera sees all.

What do you think of the Google Street View camera? Is it an invasion of privacy, a threat to national security or a way to provide useful mapping features to the masses?
