Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Google Street View now includes Finland. And the Finns are loving it. It's rude to gawp at the details of houses, but now every inch can be scoured to check that there is no evidence of deviation from the standard ownership/income line. With no risk of being observed.

Standard satellite dish. check. Panasonic heat exchanger. check. Paved car port. check. Post 2007 registered car. check. Wait a minute. There's an alarm system. What have they got that is so valuable? Hmmmm....

Ardent Finnish streeters have already found a man in a garden with his trousers down, an arrest, a ufo in the sky, sleeping summer drunks, and celebrities in unusual places.

No, I have a rough idea where you are in Ffinland, but I probably couldn't get within a 10 mile radius

Has anybody written yet an application that overlays the income on top of the image?

That is doable because all tax information is public.

So has large acres of Finland been done, or is it still small isolated islands, much like here? (It must be a year since I was followed down the street by one of their cars, but still no local pictures.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
