Spain Sues Google Over Privacy Violations In Street View

Madrid -- Spain has become the latest country to penalize search engine giant Google over alleged privacy violations made during mapping for its "Street View" feature. A judge in Spain initiated an investigation over complains whether Google unlawfully gathered data from unsecured wireless networks while gathering photographs for its photo-mapping service Street View, the association that filed the suit said Monday. 

 Spain has become the latest victim of mistakenly collected Wi-Fi data by Google's Street View mapping cars. A Google councilor will appear before a judge in Madrid, Raquel Fernandino, on 4 October as part of an investigation into whether the company committed a "computer crime" while taking shots of the city streets in Spain.
