Google sued for invasion of privacy

A couple in the US state of Pennyslvania are suing internet company Google for invading their privacy by showing pictures of their home on the 'Street View' website.

A lawyer for Aaron and Christine Boring say Google entered their private driveway to take pictures for the site, which allows users to see street-level views of cities from a map.

A spokesman for Google said anyone can ask for images of their home to be removed, but the couple's lawyers say they are suing for the original invasion of their privacy when the photos were taken.
