Consumer Watchdog wants all of the documents in the Federal Communications Commission’s inquiry into Google’s (News - Alert) Street View, as more details on the company's actions begin to filter out.

So far, the FCC has only released its Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the case. The advocacy group recently filed a Freedom of Information Act Request. 

Earlier this year, the agency also ordered that Google pay $25,000 after the commissioners found the company obstructed the FCC's (News - Alert) inquiry on how Google's Street View service collected "payload data" from private Wi-Fi networks, according to a statement from Consumer Watchdog.

Consumer Watchdog has claimed that the $25,000 fine was too small for a huge company like Google – even though the FCC says that was the maximum amount it could fine a business for failing to cooperate with the agency in such an inquiry, according to TechZone 360.

"Google is paying a $25,000 fine for its noncompliance and is trying to portray the FCC order as exonerating the company. That is not the case at all," John M. Simpson, Consumer Watchdog's Privacy Project director, said in the press release. "The FCC order shows that substantial questions about the Wi-Spy scandal remain unanswered and that is largely because the engineer responsible for writing the code that gathered payload data invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify."

"The FCC order gives an overview of what happened and shows that others including a senior manager knew -- or should have known -- about plans to gather messages from private Wi-Fi networks," Simpson added. "The order makes it clear that Google stonewalled and was uncooperative. That's why the public needs to see all the documents that are related to the case."

Consumer Watchdog said the engineer, who wrote the code, should be given immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony before a U.S. Senate hearing on the topic. The New York Times reported the name of the engineer is “Marius Milner.”

As of 2007 or 2008, Google employees working on Street View had “wide access to Milner's design document and code in which the plan to intercept ‘payload data’ was spelled out,” Consumer Watchdog said, citing the FCC order.

In fact, Consumer Watchdog claims – based on the order – that “one engineer reviewed the code line by line, five engineers pushed the code into Street View cars and, according to the FCC, Milner specifically told two engineers working on the project, including a senior manager, about collecting 'payload data.' Nonetheless, they all claim they did not learn payload data was being collected until April or May 2010.”

In addition, Consumer Watchdog claims the order shows “a troubling portrait of a company where an engineer could run wild with software code that violates the privacy of tens of millions people worldwide, but the corporate culture of ‘Engineers First’ prevented corporate counsel or other engineers from stopping the privacy violations.”

Meanwhile, over 30 state attorneys general are investigating the Street View case. In addition, a federal class action suit was filed against Google with Consumer Watchdog taking part in the case.
