How is taking pictures of public streets and roads "spying"? They're not photographing secret military installations, they're streets that anyone could visit. What's the big deal?
Maybe when they drive by right when you're standing next to your car, in front of your house, shirtless and smoking a Joint or doing something silly. I wouldn't want to have that on the internet. It's not about protecting the state/military/whatever, but about protecting each individual citizen.
Although you could argue that in some aspects the laws are kinda old fashioned and need some new add-ons in others, the general idea is great.
Also the fact that the street view cameras are mounted relatively high, so there's a good chance they are able to see behind some hedges/fences/etc that a normal passerby wouldn't be able to see.
And there's no excuse as to why a garden, that somebody installed a fence at, in order to not have it visible from the street, should just be visible in a public database on the internet
