Not sure exactly where this ought to go, but to me this is a survival tactic in todays world...

How To Blur Your House On Google Street View (And Why You Might Want To)

Google Street View gets up close and personal with everyone and everything. A little too close for some. Vehicles with roof-mounted cameras drive everywhere, filming roads, buildings, and houses. But that means that your house is online, and sometimes, that can lead to problems. “That window...

Looks like they already automatically blur license plates. I just checked the street view of our house and DoggyMama's van is in the driveway and when I zoom in, the plate is blurred.

Looks like he’s wearing a pair of hey dudes. I have a pair just like that. I would say that could be me, if it were a horses ass.

I’m scouring Google earth for a van in a driveway. I’m gonna find where you live and put political signs in your yard every night.

Sweet! You know, those make great target holders.

Vans? I’m not sure doggymama would appreciate that

Start in Tibet.

I don't live in Tibet. But I do have a "Free Tibet" sticker on one of my guitar cases. And no, it's not the "Free Tibet... with the purchase of another Tibet of equal or lesser value." stickers.

The political signs. DoggyMama's van is too beat up for a target holder. I wouldn't be able to see where my shots were going amongst all the dents and dings.

Shhh! It was a ruse. I was trying to get the baconhater from picking on Jetta....gotta give him something to occupy his time. His job doesn't seem to do it.

The Google pic for my house was taken in the fall. I had scarecrows in the front yard, and their faces were blurred as if they were people.

They have my address wrong, and it just looks just like a gravel road - that is one of the advantages of living 1/4 mile off of the road

To be fair, they did vote for Biden...

My county road scares the Google people, they take one look and decide they would just as well not see Aintry.

Wonder if the blurring would work the opposite? As an indicator that someone there has something to hide?

Not necessarily nefariously hiding...

I'm sure plenty of LEO and the like have their houses blurred. Same with other types of public figures / semi-public figures.

No, I think it's becoming common among people who are paying attention. (And more and more people are waking up.)
It's shocking how much detail you can get on someone for free online these days.

You, know, Leadeye, Hoosierdoc's wife is a dentist. she can fix your teefs real good.

I dont get what blurring does for your privacy as far as the famous folks. If they can find your address, they'll see where it is on the street. I dont see how hiding the actual house will help hide anything. Now if you have a large picture window and the lighting is right and you can see stuff inside, sure. But just to "hide" your house? Doesnt make sense to me. Maybe somebody else can enlighten me?

And I'm GM famous. There is a pic of me driving past the google car in my neighborhood.
