Court rules Google must pay $12,500 to man photographed naked by Street View camera: report

An Argentine appeals court has ordered Google to pay roughly $12,500 to a man who was photographed completely naked in his backyard by a Google Street View car, despite being behind a 6-foot-6 wall.

The ruling, issued earlier this month and first reported by Agence France-Presse (AFP) via CBS News, found that Google had committed "a serious error" by publishing the image. 

The man, reportedly a police officer, was captured in 2017, while walking unclothed in his yard in Bragado, a town west of Buenos Aires.
