Prosecutors in Connecticut (USA) led an investigation last year, which joined a quarantine of prosecutors from other states, data on the Street View cars had collected from private wireless networks in their journey for cities to develop the said street photography. Now, the new prosecutor of Connecticut has announced that it has reached a deal with Google to negotiate a penalty for this reason that states would save the expense of initiating a lawsuit.
In the event that the pact did not lead to a final agreement ... will reopen the judicial path. Under the agreement, Google, owner of the service, has had to clarify the type of information collected by Street View. The case was uncovered last year when Germany claimed the cars of Street View data collected and stored private wireless networks detected.
Google admitted after some hesitation that "mistake" had been tracking those data networks, but the stored information was fragmentary and was not made commercial use of it. The news produced a string of investigations in different countries. In Spain, the Data Protection Agency has an open and there is pending in a court of Madrid a demand for this reason.
