A policeman in Argentina was put in an awkward situation when his bare behind showed up on national TV. Sure, he had been walking around naked. But he was in his backyard, behind a 6.5-foot wall. Somehow, a Google Street View car snapped the nudes, and the rest is history.

The news channel reported the police officer’s story, his name (via the house number, which was also clearly visible), and even shared the photos. The unfortunate incident went viral on social media too.

The jilted cop sued Google. The first court said it was his fault he was “walking around in inappropriate conditions in the garden of his home.”

The Argentinian cop appealed the decision, suing Google Street View again

The man appealed the decision, and a second judge agreed Google did him dirty.

“This involves an image of a person that was not captured in a public space but within the confines of their home, behind a fence taller than the average-sized person. The invasion of privacy … is blatant…there is no doubt that in this case there was an arbitrary intrusion into another’s life…(there is) no justification for (Google) to evade responsibility for this serious error that involved an intrusion into the plaintiff’s house, within his private domain, undermining his dignity…No one wants to appear exposed to the world as the day they were born.”

— Argentinian judge

The judge pointed out that Google goes through its Street View images and blurs out faces and license plates. You would think the tech company could also hide bare behinds, or shoot fresh images of a street when its Street View car comes back with nudes.

It is interesting the judge accused Google of wrongdoing but not the telecom company and Cablevision SA — which the cop also sued. It said sharing his bare bottom on the news “helped highlight the misstep committed by Google.” The news station could have reported the story without the photos.

The judge awarded the man $12,500, to be paid by Google. The tech company has lost past lawsuits over Street View for programming its cars to gather email addresses and other private information from Wi-Fi networks while taking photos. The tech company urges citizens to reach out to its help center if they want anything visible on Street View blurred out.
