Yes, but with google maps it's visible from anywhere. And some folks might prefer that it not be ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Yes and some people would do away with the 1st amendment right to public photography entirely. That doesn't make it right...
EDIT: Yes - my comment about 1st amendment only applies to U.S. I have no idea if other countries protect public photography in the same manner.
The US Constitution is fucking stupid.
...How? It's made for the government not to take away rights. Like it's bad, but it's the bare minimum. It could be worse. There's a 14th, 19th, first 10 amendments for a reason. I don't like the US harming my privacy and the constitution, even though it takes a lot of effort to force, still prevents even more exploitation from happening...
