Could one argue that the top of a car is a ladder?

I agree. With the mount on the roof it's like, what, 3 meters high? The pole is raising the camera way above head height.

Ha! Good point. I guess the streetview cameras aren't any taller than the driver, though.

You'd be very wrong, and you can simply go to Google maps and drop the little dude somewhere to confirm that.
