VILNIUS, Lithuania—One day last summer, a woman was about to climb into a hammock in the front yard of a suburban house here when a photographer for the Google Inc. (GOOG) Street View service snapped her picture.

The apparently innocuous photograph is now being used as evidence in a tax-evasion case brought by Lithuanian authorities against the undisclosed owners of the home.

Some European countries have been going after Google, complaining that the search giant is invading the privacy of their citizens. But tax inspectors here have turned to the prying eyes of Street View for their own purposes.

If only I had something to hide...

I'm old enough to think you should be asked for permission in case anyone wants to take your photo, not to mention publish it, but on the other hand, if you don't pick your nose out in the open, you should not worry about Google Street Voyeurs.
