Default Boring Couple Sues Google Over Street View

The couple is suing the Mountain View, Calif., search giant for invading its privacy by snapping a photo of the Boring house for Google Street View, a map feature that allows users to see pictures of streets. It caused the Borings "mental suffering and diminished value of their property," according to the complaint filed in Pennsylvania state court on Wednesday. They're seeking at least $25,000 in damages.

The Borings claim that Google drove down Oakridge Lane -- a private road owned by residents -- and then further trespassed into their driveway to take a photo that includes their pool.

Google spokesman Larry Yu said the company is "looking into the details" of the Boring lawsuit. He said it's the first time Google's been sued over the year-old Street View project.
