What if Google Earth was live?

That is, if any civilian could zoom in to any point on the earth and see a live video feed of what was going on. How would this be used for good and evil? For example, police could use it to fight crime but stalkers could use it to spy on people.





Try to avoid debating about whether or not the technology would be possible and focus more on the philosophical and legal issues.|||THAT WOULD BE EFFIN AWSOME. WELL YOU COULD ALSO KNOW WHEN PEOPLE ARE LYING TO YOU? AS IN OOOH NO WERE NOT HOME BUIT THEY ACTUALLY ARE. NOT THAT PEOPLE DO THAT TO ME BECAUSE IM COOL BUT YOU GET THE POINT|||As they say the key to the kingdom of God is the same key to hell.





In other words, although it has many advantages, one cannot deny the fact that it will definitely use for evil by some men. For a human being is an insatiable creature. He will get everything he can get. And desire everything he cannot have.





Legally speaking it is invasion to privacy. And yes it could be used to stalked. And the criminals will always know how to move cause he knows where the police are coming from. That is why although it could fight crime it might also alleviate it.|||We'd all be in trouble and have to quit our little antics that we do in the privacy of our own yards. There's the good, like you say, but it's an invasion of privacy as so many people have complained about the latest embellishments to birds eye view, google earth, etc.
