Google To Delete WiFi Data Hijacked In Great Britain

BBC News - Google's wi-fi data to be deleted. This is nice. Google has agreed to delete WiFi data collected by its trucks while rolling around the world's streets. The fact that Google has graciously decided to delete the data comes, I am certain, as a great relief to privacy advocates and attorneys around the world. My question to Google is whether all collected data is being deleted, and has Google asked for permission from other Government entities to do this.  Since some are of the opinion that data collection, without consent, from unsecured wireless networks, is illegal under many statutes, would destruction of the data constitute spoliation in a subsequent trial? Has anyone sent a legal hold letter to Google? Inquiring minds want to know.
