If you are a criminal, Beware! Google is watching.

A Dutch teenager who had been robbed recently saw himself and the two muggers who had robbed him in a Google street view photo map. The faces had been blurred by Google, but when Police got copies of the original photos from Google they were able to identify the 24 year old Dutch twin brothers who had mugged the 14 year old of about $230 in cash. They were promptly arrested by the Dutch police and are awaiting trial.

According to Google, the street view photos are taken by a camera mounted on a car and luckily for the teenage there was a car on that street taking photos right before the mugging.
