Plastic bag conquers Google Street View
Privacy advocates should take note of an effective way to avert the prying eyes of Google Street View: the lowly plastic bag.
Google Street View foiled by a plastic bag.
(Credit: Google)A block of College Road in Fairbanks, Alaska, along with portions of Minnie St. and Third St. show what a driver would see only if wearing a plastic bag on his or her head. As Google Sightseeing observes, you can tell what it is by the fact that it says "plastic bag" on the inside.
So now perhaps we know which scheming multibillion dollar search engine is behind San Francisco's ban on plastic bags.

- Looks like it was rainy out. Bet the bag was put over the camera by the Google team, then they forgot to take it off before they went out. Or maybe they stopped somewhere, put the bag on, waited until the rain was over, then took off, forgetting they had covered the camera. If you're looking straight down you can't even see the car, which suggests the bag was tied down under the camera.
