Top 8 Street View Crimes
As more and more street-level imagery keeps getting added, it’s time for another Friday Street View Roundup – and today’s theme is “Crime on Street View”!
8) Indecent Exposure
This woman’s dignity has been saved by a bit of face-blurring! Of course her nipples are exposed for all the world to see. Fail!
7) Antisocial Behaviour
These pesky kids are setting up a trip-wire between two bollards. The youth of today, eh? If only the Street View camera had captured the moment they tripped a passer-by…
6) Blocking the road
Five of Providence’s Police Force have blocked up this road for a bit of a pow-wow. How inconsiderate! Someone should give them a ticket.
5) Having a camera on the roof of your car
The French authorities obviously deemed the large camera on top of the car to be a suspicious device, and pulled the Google driver over for an investigation.
Move south down Rue de la Garde and you’ll experience a thrilling chase scene!
4) Grand Theft Auto
It’s one thing to steal a car, but propping that car up on six-foot stilts in your garden is probably unwise.
3) Grafitti
This the the work of Invader, whose Space Invader themed artworks can be spotted all over Paris. He’s even branched out into Oscar the Grouch artworks1.
2) Taking Hostages?
Of course this could be any crime really, but if it requires an armed policeman hiding behind a car, you can expect whoever’s inside did more than steal some sweeties.
1) Alien Invasion
Presumably there can be no greater crime than invading our planet in little red UFOs?

Long-time users of Apple Macs will of course recognise this as the OS 7 trash-can. ↩

All US police are armed…
2: All US police are armed, so that in and of itself isn’t remarkable. Having is gun drawn is, though. Depending on neighborhood, anyway. YMMV.
3: Not only is that the System 7 trashcan, but there was a specific System 7 plugin that added an Oscar animation to the trashcan icon, who would sing “I love trash” or “I love it because it’s trash” each time you emptied it. http://www.d4.dion.ne.jp/~motohiko/kilroy.htm#The%20Grouch
All U.S. Police are not armed… The guy leaning on the car is not a police officer, and not armed.
That woman’s nipples pose a danger to nobody.
I agree with Bradley. That’s a (rather fat) woman dressed in blue and leaning against her car watching events unfold.

Perhaps s/he is cuffed?
I rather doubt the police would go through the trouble of cuffing someone … just to leave them unsupervised and otherwise unrestrained …
Here’s someone else who’s been nicked in France:

I think it is a woman. If cuffed, that is really sloppy police work. Being cuffed in the front is almost useless in terms of restraint. i don’t think she is cuffed. i think she is wearing a wrist watch, and just holding her hands like that.
Most likely the police are inside, breaking up a domestic dispute, or something, and she has been asked to wait outside.
Hum. It seems that the french policemen crieated a timehole : Just try to click on the back arrow, and you will be sent in the middle of a big motorway…
the ufo, is something with the photocamera, because its in maaaaaaaany photos and in some even at the ground.
