  SPEAKER_00: It's been a while since I've done this, but this is a favorite question from the cops and the firemen and the sheriffs and the feds and the fancy people that protect all of us while we're asleep.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: How do you get the cover of your home on Google Maps blurred off?
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: How do you do that?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: So let's do this.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to go to Google Maps.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: So in the search bar, whatever site you're on, uh punch in Google Maps, if I can spell it right.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: And once you go there, it's probably going to be at the top and do yourselves a favor.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: The actual URL is going to be maps.google.com.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: So you're going to click there.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: So when you get to Google Maps, I'm already zoomed in here.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: I apologize for that.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, it's like I cheated.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: But wherever you are in the world, you find your town and on Google Maps and you go ahead and get down into it.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm just going to grab somebody else's house.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to come up here.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: This kind of nice area here.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do this.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: What do we got up here?
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: Got some houses up here.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there's some houses here.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to zoom in.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then let's say, for example, we need a single family residence.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Let's let's say, for example, this is the house.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: This is the house I want to blur.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: So then you click on it.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: Once you click on it, you'll see, yeah, that's that's it.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's my house.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: So then see this little person down here on the bottom right.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: So I drag my mouse down here to the bottom right.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Let me get rid of my massive figure.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm gonna take this little fella.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure if that's gender neutral or what.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: You want to drop it in front of the residence on the street, because that means the Google car has gone by there at some point.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: And then you're gonna want to find that residence.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: Which one was it?
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Where was my house?
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, there it is, right here.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: So this is the house here.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let's say this is my house.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: The next thing is you want to identify the house.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is my house.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: Then you're gonna want to come down here to the bottom right and you're gonna click on report a problem.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: And then once you do, then you're gonna be able to do something with this.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: So you're gonna notify Google Maps that your house is here and you don't want it seen.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: You want to blur it.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: And the reason why you might want to blur it is for very good reason.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, people could find maybe your house has side doors, they could set up on you that way.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it has pillars out front that aren't uh won't stop any kind of ballistic ammunition.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Or I'm not trying to be weird like that, but it's just the background, so I apologize.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: But people can set up three-car garage, right?
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: So you got something going on in there and you see where the door is and so on.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: So if you just want to blur it out so you don't have to worry about it, this is how you do it.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then let's say you got caught on the street or you had your uncle call you from Alabama and say, Hey, I saw you at Venice Beach the other day on Google when I was looking over Venice Beach, your face was right there, then you can also do that with it.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: But we're talking about the house.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: So you're gonna click on home, you're gonna want to blur out this whole home.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: It'll be blurred out if it's yours.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna ask you to kind of prove it.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: And then after you get done proving it, you're gonna say you're not a robot, you're gonna submit it.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then within short order, they're gonna get rid of it.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna see it on Google Maps anymore.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: So it's pretty awesome.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: It works very well.
• 2:50

• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: When you're ready, well, I'll talk to you.
• 2:56
