20 Crimes Caught on Google Street View
Posted by DWith Big Brother -- er, Google watching, no crime is hidden from view. Here are just a few instances of crime and punishment caught on its Street View feature.
1. Reckless Driving
"I didn't realize this was a no parking tree."

Mildly Reprehensible Knievel.

Timmy made extra money working as a bicycle airbag.
2. Burglary/Theft

Either this is Spiderman's laundry day, or this guy's trying to break in.

It's awfully nice of him to steal a bicycle for his imaginary friend.

I'm thinking that's not the Staples parking lot.
3. Vandalism/Destruction of Property

Short on money, Joe tried deserpately to paint an ATM.

Before she buys a car, she kicks the tires...and the door...and the side-view mirror...and the salesman.
4. Public Intoxication

In his defense, that light pole would fall down if he wasn't there.

Few have seen the alley behind Sesame Street.

The park: where everybody knows your name.
5. Assault and Battery

This beatdown went on for 16 units!

Practicing for their middle school production of Rocky III.

Never too young to commit a felony.
6. Indecent Exposure

Trying to build up her resume for that Girls Gone Wild application.
7. Brandishing a Deadly Weapon

We're pretty sure this is a toy gun.

This, on the other hand...

"There can be only one!"
8. Illegal Parking

Unless this is a hover car, it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"The white curb is for gelato loading and unloading only..."

Citation for Driving a Vespa While Male.
9. Prostitution

Even Cinderella was hurt by the recession.

Must be the car.

Hooker? I hardly know her!
10. Joyriding

OK, this is a Google Earth photo, but it's clear that someone's taking their frustrations out on a baseball field.
11. Underage Smoking

Blurring your hair won't hide your shame.
12. Speeding

Busted.

Erik Estrada don't play that.

"I'm sorry ma'am, this is a no Schwinn situation."
13. Drug Dealing

That car was made for buying drugs.

Obviously peddling crack.
14. Jaywalking

Not using a crosswalk...

Not waiting for the light...

Not living in reality.
15. Lewd Behavior

I don't wanna know what's going on here...OK, maybe I do.

Can't you at least wait 'til you get home to blow it up?
16. Failure to Obey a Street Sign

The Google car is apparently above the law.
17. Arson?

Aftermath of the Great Tulip Riot of '07.

What fire?
18. Public Urination

A menage-a-tinkle.

"The bush was on fire."

Guilty.
19. Stalking

"Soon, that sarong will be mine..."
20. Unspecified Offenses

"Sir, your rims are just too shiny."

"I swear, someone put that construction cone in my pants."

When the police station runs out of coffee, 7-11 gets shut down.

#16 – the stains on the pavement – Someone blew out an oil pan – probably did not make it to far…. hahahahaha
Posted by Krylen on 13/4/09
Ha! some of those are pretty funny. I especially like the menage-a-tinkle, seriously, they all couldn’t hold it? or at least find a better location?
Posted by Luis Renteria on 13/4/09
These are pretty funny.
Posted by Paki on 13/4/09
Mario is a moron. You bitch-ass, look closer. Both the before and after have the same spillage.
Besides, that shit isn’t even dark enough to by synthetic.
Moron.

Funny how when you don’t have to actually see someone as you talk to them, you think you can get away with smack talk. Why the antagonism? Just shut up and laugh.

i could recognise the dog.. blurring clearly doesn’t work. :-)

Genius. Assembling these images is so creative. What a great snapshot of a slice of human nature; society 2008/9. Using Google like this has great artistic and academic potential. Thanks.

Hey Paki, I don’t think Mario was referring to the google car about the broken oil pan. If he was then he would’ve said oil spill or puddles, not stains. And it obviously is from a vehicle because the stain continues out in a line up the street in the center of the lane. Whether or not it was from oil, idk. Could’ve been a radiator or hose too.
Posted by __-__ on 14/4/09
paki is an e-thug. The hardest pit in the litter until he has to say that shit in someones face. Faggot. It looks like the car probably got fucked up when it destroyed whatever used to be standing between those curbs. could be several things. I have synthetic oil stains on my driveway that are lighter than that. Man I can’t stand e-thugs.

No. 7 with the supposedly “toy’ gun….I bet it IS real, you’d be surprised how they act around those neighborhoods. That one is about 15 mins from my house (on the wrong side of the tracks) in Chicago IL

Number 8, that’s a Reliant, it’s a three wheel car which explains the apparent floatiness
Posted by Dixie Normous on 15/4/09
As a Brit, I know that car is not a Reliant.
Posted by kookie on 16/4/09
lol on A menage-a-tinkleis that a cop with them? and on the hovercraft one the van at the bottem right looks wierd look at the wheels…but yea…awesome compilation love it =D
Posted by dhfsdjkf on 16/4/09
Wait what you HAVE to use a zebra crossing? That’s just stupid imo. What if there’s no crossing?
Posted by jonny on 16/4/09
The third picture in Jaywalking isn’t jaywalking: you can cross the road wherever you like in the UK…and Dixie Normous is right, it isn’t a Robin Reliant, Regal or any other three-wheeler.
Posted by lilajane on 16/4/09
I don’t think the point of #8 was how many wheels that car had or whether or not it appeared to be floating…the point was that the volvo station wagon in front of it is wedged between that car and another car with no room to maneuver out.
Posted by karlontxo on 16/4/09
I understand blurring the faces and car plates, but… hooker mini-skirt????
Posted by JJ on 16/4/09
The before and after in #16 are clearly different pictures. Just look at the background, the shape of the curbs and the level of zoom on the google toolbar.
Therefore Paki, you are an idiot, not mario
Posted by cheese on 16/4/09
They’re different angles on #16, not different pictures.
Posted by spundoctor on 16/4/09
Thank you Cheese
Posted by Muppet Master on 17/4/09
Paki, your the moron.
Mario clearly says “Someone blew out an oil pan”.
The Before and After are different cos they are looking at the same part of the street but from different sides.
Take a look at the shadow on the left hand side of the Before picture. Its from the car seen on the right side in the after picture.
Google car obviously took and image driving up to it and then after hitting the signs.
stains are from a previous vehicle and Paki is still a moron.

Excellent compilation. Congratulations!

#7 is actually a real gun, i saw the pic blown up on another site, along with before and after frames of people on the street watching.. LOL. crazy the kid had to be only like 4 or 5 whats the need for a gun.. that pics been taken off but the before and after are still there i guess
Posted by Joe Zydeco on 20/4/09
The house fire in #17 really isn’t a house fire. If you look at the next image up on Google Maps, you can see it’s just a barbeque grill on the porch being started.
Posted by Dick on 21/4/09
Only the dog seems to know he is on camera.
hahahhhhaa

Hi there, I’m a journalist for the Independent on Sunday newspaper in London. I’d be really interested in chatting to you about this shotlist. Would you be able to get in touch on the email above?
Many thanks, Emily.

Public Urination + Indecent exposure at the same time:
Guy caught urinating facing… the camera. The pic is still in Street View this minute. It will likely be removed soon:
