Or the guys driving the cars could take note of the places where they come across disturbing situations and flag photos that they feel need manual review.

i know it is hundreds of thousands of photos, but they don't have some interns they can put in front of a computer to do this? or have some "report" button?
on an unrelated note, Antarctica has streets?

Why remove them?

Viva Brazil!

I think if you are going to add a warning it should actually be a pre-load page. Or even something like spoilers on a forum.

Anyone viewing the page from the Tom's Guide homepage or tomshardware.com/news will see the warning before they click through. The front page of TH doesn't allow headlines over a certain amount of characters and does not show the post's lead (the part of every article that is in bold), so yes, people clicking through from there will not be warned until after they click but this was the best I could do.

I saw plenty of crazy things like that during my time spent in Brazil, so they can plan on running into PLENTY more things like this!

They should leave them up there so you know what you are getting into if you plan to travel there.

"Dead Bodies Showing Up on Street View Brazil" want enough of a warning?

i question the intelligence of humanity allot and i give them enough credit, but do i give you to much?

I never realized how violent it was in brazil... the only brazilian i even knew was blanka, and he seemed pretty crazy.

 

[JOSHSKORN]

So we can Photoshop out faces to hide identities but we can't show dead bodies with blood and guts oozing from their corpses? Makes sense.

/sarcasm

There's nothing in Antarctica, it's just that Google couldn't fire someone who brought an iPhone to work so they sent them to Antarctica instead

These are the same drivers that are in the news getting tickets from the police all the time too.

i see dead people

 

[alyoshka]

It's the new Google view, cemetery view it's a beta launch..... dead people & dead penguins.
Why can't they be there while it's happening or help in catching the people who are doing it??? Why is it that it's always after or before the crime that they turn up???
There ought to be better use of gMaps and gSV not just picking on the dead guys or driving into lake, it ought to be able to stop such stuff from happening....
Isn't that the whole point of progress??

Soon there will be pictures of the Google Maps car driver being jacked. Or Google will have difficulty getting further imagery because people steal the cameras off the cars. For all the progress that Brazil has made in the last 20 years, there still remains MUCH social and political issues to be addressed. I know, I used to live there, lived through hyper inflation, lived through a mugging at age 8, relatives and friends being car jacked, my house being broken into, tourists getting their hands chopped off for their nice watches/jewelry/Nike shoes, etc. Most of it still goes on today.
