"Google is being sued by a Frenchman after its Street View service captured a photograph of him urinating in his garden. Although the picture was blurred, the man claims that the search engine giant has made him a laughing stock as he hails from a small village. &amp;quot;He discovered the existence of this photo after noticing that he had become an object of ridicule in his village,&amp;quot; the man&amp;#039;s lawyer, Jean-Noel Bouillaud, told AFP. The image was captured in the garden of the man&amp;#039;s Maine-et-Loire province home. His attorney argues that the photograph should not be hosted on Street View since it depicts him on his own fenced-off property. The complaint against Google, filed with a court in Angers, claims infringement of privacy and demands that the photograph is removed from the internet. The man is also seeking \u00E2\u201A\u00AC10,000 (\u00C2\u00A38,300) in damages. Google&amp;#039;s lawyer Christophe Bigot told French newspaper Ouest-France that Street View merely displays people&amp;#039;s silhouettes. He also claimed that the French court summons is invalid as the photo was published by Google US.  &amp;quot;It would have been enough to make a claim on the site for a complete blurring of the picture,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;This gentleman is an awkward customer who hopes to make a quick buck.&amp;quot;  The Angers court will give its verdict on March 15. &amp;gt; Woman sues Google for showing underwear &amp;gt; Google adding interiors to Maps Street View service "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
