(PR.co.nz) Assistant Privacy Commissioner Katrine Evans said today:
“We met with the New Zealand Police yesterday. We have agreed that we will now refer this matter formally to them, so that they can consider whether Google has committed a criminal offence by collecting payload data from wi-fi networks during its Street View filming.
“We will continue to consider the privacy angles, but we have no further comment to make at this time.”
