Nah -- I don't think you're being in the least alarmist. Street view is at once both useful and invasive. Where can one go in the UK to "get away from it all"? If we're all watching each other 24/7 (and I must admit that I have World webcam on my homepage so I can see what's going on in Kanagawa, Melbourne and Stockport) then there is no privacy left. I'm guessing that in the future there will be a distinct gap between web-cammed areas of the States and rural hinterland off the grid; the UK is small enough to ensure the most coverage.
