Yes, as an individual you have that right (unless you're observing military installations :). But Google is a company, and companies are bound to some rules: http://home.planet.nl/~privacy1/wbp_en_rev.htm Or in a more understandable form (but in Dutch): http://www.justitie.nl/themas/meer/hoofdlijnen_wbp.asp In short: "Organisations may only collect and use personal data for a well-defined goal. This goal they must define up front, before starting the collection of data. They may not collect more data than strictly necessary for that goal." Etcetera, etcetera.
