There Are Just Some Places That Google Won’t Let You See

It’s a lot of fun to take a poke around Google maps and look at the street view. Whether you’re checking out your ex-girlfriend’s house or nosing around to see what your old fraternity managed to do with all that money they got in the fundraising drive, it’s pretty cool to just take a peek at different places.

Unless that place is the White House. Or the entire northern half of Pakistan. Or certain sensitive sights scattered around the world (looking at you, Ramstein Air Base). Then Google’s going to have some bad news for you…access denied.

Take a look at these other sites that may or may not make any sense for being designated as off-limits to internet map snoopers.

Boring couple sues Google

No, this isn't an ugly headline. A Pennsylvania couple--Aaron and Christine Boring--sued Google after finding up-close pics of their house on the site. The problem? The Borings purposely bought a secluded home because they value their privacy. Turns out that cute little Google car with the camera on top drove up their long private driveway to snap the pics.
