I think the people that complain about privacy concerns with this are ridiculous. By going outside into public you are lowering your expectation of privacy. Anyone can see you, your license plate, or what you are doing.
"Anyone can see you, your license plate, or what you are doing."
Perfectly true... and I understand exactly where you're coming from. However, when you step out on the street, the WORLD can't see you... and I think therein lies the concern.
They should just tell people they'll be taking photographs of the street. Then shop owners can fancy up their stores, Mr./Mrs. "Omg people can see me" can stay indoors, and people (like me) can strike a pose. Might be fake or posed, but when people around the word see the photos, they'll think your country is first rate and want to visit. If they don't like it when they come because it's not as advertised, who care? You already got their money :P.
