GOOGLE is on a bold mission to document every road, track and highway across the globe with its fleet of Street View cars.
While the camera-laden vehicles largely capture mundane streets and empty fields, occasionally they happen upon VERY embarrassing moments.

‘Pooing’ man
A Reddit user claims to have spotted someone in a very compromising position on Google Maps.
The eagle-eyed forum dweller posted two screenshots of a man with his trousers down squatting in a field in the Netherlands.
The cheeky chap appears to be relieving himself in what he thought was a secluded spot between two bushes near the city of Roosendaal.
However, his suspicious squat – with trousers pulled down to his thighs – was picked up by cameras on one of Google’s Street View cars.
Fifteen cameras strapped to each vehicle snap panoramic images to create a virtual representation of our surroundings.
Images of the crouching fellow were shared on a popular Google Maps Reddit thread. The post’s author wrote: “I found someone pooping in the grass…”.
Helping hand
One of Street View’s all-seeing vehicles once caught a woman performing a sex act on a man in Manchester.
The randy pair didn’t seem too fussed about finding somewhere private, getting down and dirty in broad daylight on a busy street.
The series of snaps, which show the woman giving the man a helping hand as he leans against a wall, quickly went viral.
Google later took down the images from Street View.
Street View car pulled over
Google Maps appears to have captured the moment one of its own camera-laden cars was pulled over by US police.
A series of images snapped by one of the digital mapping service’s Street View vehicles shows a cop car tailing one of Google’s vehicles in Maryland.
In one of the snaps, taken just a mile from Camp David, the police tail appears behind Google’s vehicle.
Further along the road, the cop car’s lights fire up before – further on still – the Google car appears to be ushered into a small parking lot.
The feed then mysteriously cuts off, according to an eagle-eyed Google Maps fan who shared the snaps on Reddit.
Forum-lurker “Hot_Wheels_guy” explained his find in the comments underneath his 2019 post.
“The street view car is recording the scenic winding mountain road that connects Camp David (yes that Camp David) to the rest of civilization,” they wrote.
“If we rewind a bit- about a quarter mile- the Ranger’s vehicle isn’t yet in sight behind the Google car.
“Then if you travel a hundred yards or so East (travelling away from Camp David) and turn and look back again, you’ll see the Park Ranger has flown up behind you.
“Travel a little further and his lights are definitely flashing now.
“Then- just around the bend- the ‘chase’ seems to come to an end at a scenic view parking area.
“In the final moment before the cam car pulls off the road the Park Ranger turns off his light bar. But… Street View ends right here despite the road continuing for another mile south before intersecting Foxville Road (which also has streetview).”
Cheeky
This cheeky chap had his bum on show as one of Google’s vehicles zipped past him in Middlesbrough.
It’s not clear whether the man had his crack snapped on purpose or just happened to have it hanging out as the cameras rolled by.
Google’s mapping service automatically blurs faces and number plates that it captures for Street View. Rear-ends get a free pass, it seems.
The snap on St James Street has now been removed by Google.
Public romp
A randy couple were caught getting it on by eagle-eyed users of Google Maps.
The completely naked couple appear to be romping against a parked car at the side of the road in Taiwan.
The steamy snaps, taken by the side of the Shantian Road in Taichung, appear to show a completely naked man with his arms wrapped around a nude woman, as the pair lean in for a kiss.
They appear to be going at it at the side of the mountain road, with no attempt to hide as they romp out in the open.
The road became one of the top searched places in the region as users flooded online to see the randy couple for themselves.
The spot was also flooded with five-star reviews before Google bosses got wind of the X-rated snap.
