People are going to adjust. I remember the local forum in town with people freaking out about the Google streetview being a massive invasion of privacy and saying how they're going to chase those cars and destroy the cameras. Some people are going to have fun here and there, but I think we'll be collectively over it very soon.

Cars are easy to disable in general. You can permanently disable lots of cars on a random street before you get caught. This is temporary and harmless, so people aren't really serious about it.

Open Google Maps and try to streetview over Germany. People (or provacy laws) did not adjust, and I can’t say I’m sad about that - even though not having SV can be annoying.
I thought the underlying reason behind the laws and lack of StreetView in Germany was the general higher sensitivity to privacy, not just “laws”. Laws, after all, are created by elected people who should interpret the spirit of the population.
Of course people change over time to live with a technology, but I would not take it for granted that it _has_ to happen always, and not without reshaping the tech to make it more palatable to people’s concerns and values.
