Peeing Frenchman sues Google
A Frenchman is suing Google for making him the laughing stock of his village after the firm’s Street View service put on the Internet a picture of him urinating in his garden, his lawyer said Thursday.
“He discovered the existence of this photo after noticing that he had become an object of ridicule in his village,” lawyer Jean-Noel Bouillaud told AFP, asking for the name of the village not be published.
The slightly blurred photo, seen by AFP, shows an individual relieving himself in a garden in the village in the west-central Maine-et-Loire department.
“My client lives in a tiny hamlet where everyone recognised him,” said Bouillaud, adding that his client was on his own property and that the gate to his garden was closed at the time the photo was taken.
