Police have found no evidence Google committed a criminal offence by gathering personal wireless internet data during its street view operation in New Zealand.
They have referred the matter back to the Privacy Commissioner.
The commission in June asked police to investigate a possible breach of the Crimes Act after concerns were raised that Google had collected unencrypted Wi-Fi data while photographing streets with 3D cameras for its street view mapping service.
To enter Street View, just go to maps.google.co.nz, and drag the yellow 'pegman' in the top left corner onto any road marked on the map.
Debate on this issue is now closed. Here is a selection of Your Views:
