"Today's enforcement notice strengthens the action already taken by our office, placing a legal requirement on Google to delete the remaining payload data identified last year within the next 35 days and immediately inform the ICO if any further discs are found," said Stephen Eckersley, the office's head of enforcement.

"Failure to abide by the notice will be considered as contempt of court, which is a criminal offence."

I am amazed the Google can state that the private information they collected has not been put into the public domain. Hell, Google Headquarters, with their tens of thousands of employees, is a public domain area. These are the people with access to this information.
