The Borings alleged trespass claim on Google Street View.

Upon appeal in the 3rd circuit in Pennsylvania was case against Google's Street View service.

The appeal stated representatives of Google drove up the ungated driveway of "Boring" residence and took photos of their property 'including the pool area'

The court compared "knocking" to "driving up and taking photos" and cited that knocking was more intrusive to privacy than what Google did, but knocking in itself did not pass muster for a 'highly offensive' act.  The appeals court held that "no person of ordinary sensibilities would be would be shamed, humiliated, or have suffered mentally as a result of a vehicle entering into his or her ungated driveway and photographing the view from there."

Regarding the plaintiff's claim for 'unjust inrichment' the court stated ""it cannot be fairly said that the Boringsconferred anything of value upon Google.""

It seems that the photographs of Plaintiffs property was indeed boring. Maybe too boring for PA courts to grant relief.
