Google Maps Street View feature is taking the party indoors. Businesses in certain areas can volunteer to have their interiors fully photographed, and Comics Toons N’ Toys in Tustin, California, stepped up to bat.

After all, no one wants to get caught picking their nose or taking a leak in the street when Google comes calling.
