Shouldn't this guy be doing something important like raising concerns about photos taken in public, you MIGHT get other people in your photos, thus invading their privacy. **** he's not even a SHARP tool.
Dumbass senator. Doesn't he know that technology was recently declassified military tech. So because a public company buys it all of a sudden it's an issue now? Oh wait he's a democrap, nuff said
Only the government can spy on you with satellites and UAVs. How dare private companies collect geo data for commercial use. Let's insinuate that they're aiding the terrorists.
Isn't the Governement "the People of America"? Apple-Google Universal Inc. isn't.
I think that Apple or Google would remove naked people if they find any in their photos. I wonder how much that happens, I've not seen any nudists while I was in the air.
of course, it's a democrat. has this asshole lived under a rock for the past 10 years while google spy 'cars' have mapped the entire planet, violating the privacy of people world-wide? why now? this guy needs to do what he does best—what he was elected to do—and put his head back in the sand.

what an idiot.
Taking pictures from a car of a street that anyone can drive through isn't invasion of privacy, now the collecting data of people's wireless networks is.
I thought it was a very cordial and common-sense letter. While I don't think it's going to be much of an issue, I can see some people getting very upset if they are caught nekid in there backyard. The use of hi-res satellite imagery could aide terrorist, but again, they could get that information elsewhere. Either way, it's good to think about these types of things and something that government should be thinking about.
I too feel the same way and that is why my concern is ...

the exact same as Nizzard. I do appreciate the Senator's concern for our privacy, I just wish it was not such hypocrisy in the stance by Schumer. After all it is Senator Schumer that pushed for the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (which allows drones to fly domestically).

Actually, the government isn't "the People of America", either. Read the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. The government is set up to serve and represent the People and only has the rights granted to it by the People. It most certainly does not take the place of the People.

Fascinating... why would they want to do that, aren't these things supposed to hit the enemy during wars?
And it doesn't even really do that anymore either.
Can't be sure if Schumer is really upset for the people, or because nobody wants to photograph him in the nude.
Did anyone bother to tell this man that we already HAVE LAWS protecting sun-bathing people on rooftops and that Google has already had to take down such photos on Google Street Maps?
Did he get upset at all the government cameras everywhere doing the same thing -- or those stupid scanners at the airport that "trust us" nobody will see and ogle images from their clothes dissolving technology?
Of all the things he could be doing -- THIS is the issue for him to get grumpy about? Someone must have paid this old goat to care.

Obviously, Schumer is OK with drones because;
1) They have auto-blur technology that hides naughty bits.
2) Privacy is important, except when we are ACTUALLY trying to destroy privacy rights.
3) The check from Raytheon didn't bounce like the one from Apple.
Don't worry. Your penis will only appear as one pixel using this technology.
LOL.
Don't tell Schumer about the new Apple "retina display" his pixel-sized penis will be even more hidden. It will be tough to rant on C-Span; "They should respect privacy -- and when they aren't -- they should be enhancing the splendor of Schumer junior. Damn those Apple's -- get off of my lawn!"
Here we go again with anti-corporate, anti-progress Dems rushing to "save the people" from the "evil corporations"... Look you tool, any idiot can grab a super high resolution camera and take even more detailed pictures of any object, vehicle, building, landmark, area, etc. from an airplane, or a tall building, or even by floating a balloon, anywhere in the US. Welcome to the 21st century. Now, how about you go back to DC and balance the damn budget?!

Shove it, Schumer! I swear - one of the last useless Senators in DC!
