The  man, who is aged around 50 and lives in a village of some 3,000 people  in the Maine-et-Loire region, is demanding the removal of the photo, in  which locals have recognized him despite his face being blurred out. He also wants 10,000 euros ($13,300) in damages. "Everyone  has the right to a degree of secrecy," his lawyer, Jean-Noel Bouillard,  told Reuters. "In this particular case, it's more amusing than serious.  But if he'd been caught kissing a woman other than his wife, he would  have had the same issue." Google Inc.'s Street View, covering some  30 countries and available in France since 2008, enables users of  Google Maps to also view photos of streets taken by its camera cars,  which have cameras hoisted on frames on their roofs. The man  thought he was hidden from view by his closed gate as he relieved  himself in November 2010. But Google's lens caught him from above his  gate as it passed by. Bouillard did not explain why the man chose to  urinate outside. Google's lawyer in the case, named by local daily  Ouest France as Christophe Bigot, was not immediately reachable, but  the newspaper said he was pleading that the case should be declared null  and void. The court, in the nearby city of Angers, is due to give its verdict on March 15.
