Big Brother's Enabler -- Google "spycars" enraging the Brits

Drudge flagged an interesting article in the British Mail Online: "Big Brother: The Google cars that will photograph EVERY front door in Britain."
- Seems like Google has struck a nerve in Britain, a country that normally tolerates more public surveillance than most because of such a long history with fighting terrorism.
- The Brits appear to be deeply offended with Google's massive attempt at private surveillance.
- It's viewed as Google needlessly making it more efficient for bad guys, terrorists, burglars, stalkers, pedophiles, etc. to find your home/hearth and more easily do private citizens harm.
- Google is unwittingly creating a dashboard and operating system for stalkers, criminals and terrorists -- and Big Brother.
Google is rapidly becoming George Orwell's 1984 BIG BROTHER ENABLER.
- And how does this comport with Google's motto: "Don't be evil"?
- I wouldn't be surprised to see neighborhoods start to organize and post signs -- Google "Spycars" Prohibited/Unwelcome.
