NSFW It appears that while some people are increasingly concerned that Google's entertaining Street View might visually rape their swimming pool or lay bare their military secrets to black turbans and other jihadist riff-raff, the residents of Illinois have a rather more relaxed attitude to privacy.

Good show, although in its haste to record every inch of planet Earth, the marauding spytruck failed to capture the full reveal.
