It’s possible the person driving the car didn’t spot the flashing incident at the time.
A Google Maps user is said to have spotted the incident and reported it to the Liverpool Echo.
While the camera-laden vehicles largely capture mundane streets and empty fields, occasionally they happen upon very embarrassing moments.
A Google Maps users once spotted what they thought was a person relieving himself in a secluded spot between two bushes near the city of Roosendaal.
However, his suspicious squat – with trousers pulled down to his thighs – was picked up by cameras on one of Google’s Street View cars.
Fifteen cameras strapped to each vehicle snap panoramic images to create a virtual representation of our surroundings.
Images of the crouching fellow were shared on a popular Google Maps Reddit thread. The post’s author wrote: “I found someone pooping in the grass…”.
If an image is deemed too inappropriate and no amount of blurring will help then Google will take it down from Street View.
