Google Street View Helps Police Find Abducted Girl

Google's Street View service has always been highly controversial since its inception. Previously, the service captured images such as a woman sunbathing and a man leaving a strip club. Last month, Google Street View even captured a picture of someone (possibly a man or a woman) urinating behind a car in Madrid, Spain. Many people are concerned that Google's street view service may expose personal privacy or even national security secrets. Last month, a group of people in Japan formed a legal action team demanding that Google immediately stop providing detailed online images of Japanese urban streets.

However, Google’s Street View now finally has an excuse to defend itself. Just last weekend, it helped the police rescue a 9-year-old girl who had been abducted.
