Google Maps Street View is not somewhere many people would like to spot themselves, especially if they’re photographed in the middle of something they intended to be private. One man has fallen foul of the tech giant’s cameras after a day out at the beach in what is believed to be France. He was snapped with a female companion who is wearing a bikini, but it’s only he who is left red-cheeked. It’s fair to say he’s been handed a rather bum deal in the incident.
Street View has snapped him just as he bends over to change his shorts – and his entire naked bottom has been caught in full view.
The irony of the situation is for all to see, too, as the man has clearly attempted to hide his change of wardrobe from the public.
The beachgoer has positioned himself next to a motorbike behind a low wall.
It would seem he’s trying to make his change away from the prying eyes of other sun-worshippers.
What’s more, his bikini-clad female companion looks to be holding up a beach towel as though to further screen the man.
Of course, all such attempts are rendered futile as the man’s behind is still caught on camera for all to see.
Luckily the man has turned away from the lens so his face cannot be identified.
However, Google Maps always protect the privacy of those they photograph by blurring their faces – as they have done with the woman in the shot.
The sun-seeker is far from the only person to be caught out by Google Street View.
On another occasion on Google Maps, a man was seen by an outdoor gym. He is wearing socks and trainers – but the rest of him appears to be completely naked.
Incredibly, the scene’s shock factor does not stop there as what he is up to is rather suspicious too.
In one shot he appears to be slightly crouched as he looks behind him and his hand appears to be covering his nether regions.
Then, in another still, he is squatting on the ground and looking off to one side.
It very much looks as though he might be going to the toilet – although it’s hard to tell for sure.
Sometimes, people are more than happy to be photographed in a state of undress by Google.
For instance, a lumberjack was photographed standing on top of the lorry completely naked.
He is standing with his hands on his hips and is looking straight at the camera. The man seems to show no shame about his nudity and makes no attempt to cover up.
Google Maps has made the decision to blur out the man’s nether regions.
This is because Google does not allow “inappropriate content” on street view, including “sexually explicit content.”
