The Telegraph reports that a young girl owes her safety to the power of Google.

When the girl was kidnapped American police, instead of scouting the area themselves, used Google Street View to find places she might be hidden. After identifying a likely motel, they then sat in their offices and used Google to find out its name. After making sure through Google that the motel was indeed in the right location, they finally send someone round to make a bust.

Is this is end of police as we know them? Wait a minute, when was the last time the police set foot in the street anyway?
