Did Google knock on everyone's door before they photographed every street in the country!?

They can't stop you but there are some limits on what you could do with the photo without their permission. Times like that it's best to invite them to look at the pictures on the screen

Can you imagine Queen Liz shouting at all the tourists to stop photographing Buckingham Palace?

Might at first seem strange but in the press today are flood related stories including many related to how those lovely people at insurance companies will be more than happy to drastically increase insurance premiums and add enormous and hardly affordable excesses to policies for people who have claimed or are in a regular flood area.

Thus if one's property was marginally in the wrong place related to flooding one would not want one's insurance cover threatened by some random observation of nearby floods that became evidence on which insurance policies might be based. People might be getting a little sensitive to such things?

Or of course they might just be nutters. Can you be sure they were not asking for your help in some strange foreign tongue?

The flood risk tends to work on postcodes, so the stuff at the top of Riverside Hill would be in the same category as those living at 1 Oftenflooding Lane.

Yeah but having said all that, it still doesn't mean st. They can't stop you photographing their house.

Are there? If the OP was stood in the street, what limits are there on his usage of the image he took, assuming the house in question is not say a National Trust property...?

Did they give any reason at all for not wanting their house photographed? Seems a bit weird to me.

Irony of the week: If they hadn't shouted at you you wouldn't have posted them!

I wonder what life will be like when there is no form of privacy available at all?
