Google Street View has given us the ability to explore distant lands from the comfort of our living rooms. That doesn’t mean these distant lands are happy about you cyber-cruising around their town looking at all their stuff. According to a report, a group of 20 villagers from Sa-eab, in Northern Thailand, blocked one of the Street View cars, interrogated the driver, and demanded he swear on a statue of Buddha that he wasn’t up to no good.
The villagers weren’t opposed to you seeing their beautiful village, they didn’t have anything personal against the driver either. They were only worried that the driver was a spy sent to survey their land for building a dam, a project that has been vehemently protested by the villagers. A representative for the villagers wrote an apology saying that they were “extremely worried and there had been so many repeated cases that convinced the villagers to believe someone was trying to survey the area in disguise.”
