With the easy access(legal or not) to info courtesy of the Net, it shouldn't be too hard to keep the 'street views' current.

Take Nellis Air Force Base out in Nevada or Miranmar Marine Corps Base(Top Gun/Fighter Weapons School) in California. If one were to go by inaccurate 'street views', one could accidentally get directions with 'street views' of the respective fighter test ranges and/or stumble on to the test range itself.
I hope the google maps guys don't read this. If they do we'll soon have to click on a TOS/AUP popup on our way to street view. But really, though, they already have a disclaimer for google maps directions, so I think you're kinda freaking out about nothing Chris516.
