people who think it invasion of privacy need to get over it..its not like you can been seen on there..they took a photo and that photo stays on there now and if people were in the photo they were cut out of it...they blurred them out sorry.


Yeah, totally agree. No different to walking past on the footpath, taking a photo then puting it on flickr.

Looks like a camera mounted on the roof of the car. You can see the shadows in some angles. Got something to do during down time at work now.

They had a caller who said he saw someone sunbathing topless
