Google’s street view car has caused some commotion about privacy issues lately, especially in the EU where it may breach some privacy laws. Even in the United States, one town in Minnesota has told Google to stay away from their streets.

Well, for those opposed to Google’s street view, they can take solace in knowing that even Google’s street car isn’t above the law: A Google street view car was pulled over the other day in San Francisco for some sort of driving infraction.

No details were given on the violation, but it should be noted that Google is using an environmentally responsible Toyota Prius for its mapping.
