Everyone, Toughen your glutes! Google is watching for buns of steel (or mashed potatoes).

So, Buenos Aires ain't so far from LA.

An Argentine captured naked in his yard by a Google Street View camera has been awarded compensation by a court after his bare behind was splashed over the internet for all to see.

The policeman had sought payment from the internet giant for harm to his dignity, arguing he was behind a two-meter (6.6-foot) wall when a Google camera captured him in the buff, from behind, in small-town Argentina in 2017.

His house number and street name were also laid bare, broadcast on Argentine TV covering the story, and shared widely on social media.

The man claimed the invasion exposed him to ridicule at work and among his neighbours.


Swift justice!

NO PHOTOS, so I'll let Pacino describe it.
