Woman caught flashing as Google Maps camera car passes home left topless online

A woman, who flashed her breasts at a camera car shooting her area, has found herself on Google Maps.

The unidentified exhibitionist spotted the vehicle taking photos for Street View in the Dingle area of Liverpool and decided to pose in an X-rated manner.

She can be seen through an open gate leading into a back garden lifting her top up on the doorstep while three other women stand the other side of the fence.

One woman in a grey jumpsuit and trainers can be seen pointing towards the woman as she cheekily poses, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Another angle, which appears to have been captured after the bold snapshot, shows the three women outside the fence talking among one another.

Cars used by Google are fitted with mounted cameras that enable 360 degree pictures to be taken for use in Google Maps.

The cameras snap a number of photos as well as capturing GPS data to match each photograph to its location.

Pictures from each camera overlap and special software then ‘stitches’ them together to form a map.

The car also has three lasers which reflect off buildings and other objects and help Google to create 3D models for their maps.

Google’s team regularly updates its street view images.

In 2018 Google was left red-faced after a woman in Taiwan was able to upload a video of her exposing her breast to its Maps service.

The raunchy clip was somehow able to circumnavigate the search giant's nudity filters.

The images quickly went viral and turned a quiet route along Pingtung County in rural Taiwan into a hot online destination.

It made a change from the usual images of farming equipment and rural countryside that are usually viewable in that location.

The company has a strict policy on any kind of pornographic or sexually suggestive content.

A Google Taiwan spokesman told local media at the time: "The data sources on Google Maps include third-party partners, public information, and user submissions, but may not be correct at times.

"When users find errors, missing locations, or other issues on the map, they can respond with a ‘report problem’ in the lower right corner of the interface. Google will review the content and take appropriate actions.

"Users can refer to Google’s content policy instructions to understand what content is prohibited and restricted, such as not allowing pornography, explicit or sexually suggestive content."

In 2015 a sunbather was caught topless by a passing Google snapper.

The woman, who looked like she is adjusting her towel, was snapped near a beach in Mexico and uploaded to the mapping system.

And shadow on the floor in front of the semi-nude sun worshipper suggest her picture was taken by a Google worker carrying a portable Street View camera rig.

Prior to being taken down, the lady was seen in all her glory with only her face blurred on the search giant’s popular mapping feature.
