Google Street catching people coming out of sex shops, vomiting.

By the way, I never pick my nose in public anymore. From the London Paper:
GOOGLE was forced to remove dozens of London images from its new Street View image service today after sparking major concerns over personal privacy and security.

Parts of London have been “blacked out” after scores of complaints from homeowners and people captured by Google’s cameras complained.

Among the images withdrawn are one photo of a man vomiting outside a pub in Shoreditch, and another leaving a Soho sex shop.

A picture of a man being arrested in Camden has also been pulled.

Blacked out areas have been replaced with a message saying: “This image is no longer available.”

However, it is still possible to view the contentious images by changing the position from which it is viewed.
