Google Street View is a navigational tool used to help directionally challenged folks find their way around the world. But since its debut in 2007, the income and time challenged have also used it to virtually tour the world, giving the phrase ‘staycation’ a whole other meaning.
Here’s something else Google Street View offers users: insights into some f***ed up ish captured while the vehicles roam and map the streets, things like dead bodies, kids shooting kids, drunks passed out in their sick, underage smoking, assault and drug dealing, to list a few.
