The man urinating in his gardend dismissed by Angers justice hall and Google strict view

The plaintiff who, a few days ago, summonsed Google at the Angers Justice Hall for a unappropriate picture shot by the cameras of Google Street View, has finally been dismissed. The man was pictured while he was pissing in his garden what was mocked by all the inhabitants of his village, located near Angers. He considered the picture infringed his private life and damaged his image.

That brand is managed by Google Usa and not by Google France and it was that one the plaintiff had decided to sue.
