Judge Rejects Google's Argument on Street View Privacy

A judge ruled that Google Inc. overstepped its bounds by enabling its vehicles to collect emails, Internet passwords and Web surfing behavior while photographing neighborhoods for the search giant's popular "Street View" mapping feature. Google has apologized for the snooping, promised to stop collecting the data and said what it did was inadvertent but not illegal.
