Does Google have the right to drive down a private road, turn around in a private driveway, and take pictures of private property?

Google insists it has the right to drive upon a private road, turn around in a private driveway, and take pictures of private property. In a motion to dismiss an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit filed by Aaron and Christine Boring in Pennsylvania, attorneys representing Google argue that what the plaintiffs claim is private is not private in the eyes of the law. The case arose from Google's image-acquisition efforts for Google Maps Street View. A Google driver allegedly traveled down a private road, took pictures of the Boring residence, and turned around in the couple's driveway. Google then made those pictures available online through Google Maps Street View. That act, the Borings allege, caused them mental suffering and diminished property value.
