Yes, but there's also laws, many of which I wouldn't be surprised if Google is breaking. It's not so much that Google has the photos, but Google is profiting off the photos of your public property. It doesn't matter if you're on public or private property, it's not where the picture is taken from, it's what is in the picture.

Put it this way, there's so many laws on photography that I'm not even allowed to use a picture of DigiPen in a game made at DigiPen. Why? The property is technically owned by Nintendo, so I would need written permission to use a photograph of their building.

If you felt like a lawsuit, I'm pretty sure you could take on Google and win. You won't get rich, but you could force Google to take it down.
