Personally I see this as being much less invasive then taking pictures of someone's house and posting the location of the picture. Which is pretty much Google Street View, are you opposed Street View as well?
Street View has been quite controversial in many European countries.
Business has been quite controversial in many European countries.
Business at the expense of civil rights has been quite controversial in many democratic nations. Shocking, really.
By civil rights you refer to the right to prohibit anyone from taking a single pictures of your house from public property? Personally, I'd rather have the right to not be interrupted by people asking for money during dinner.
