(NEWS.NINEMSN) — A French court has ordered a man who was pictured answering a call of nature in his garden to pay legal costs to Google for bringing a badly prepared case against the internet giant.
The man, who claimed he became a laughing stock after an image taken by a Google camera car of his al fresco urination was published globally on the Street View web app, now owes the firm’s French subsidiary 1200 euros ($A1500).
