Not trying to diminish what you achieved but... I don't see how this can be classified as hacking or really even wiretapping as we think of it to a certain extent.

Removing the fact that what people read on Google Maps may be taken as fact, it seems no different to creating say a Facebook page for the secret service and throwing up your own phone number. Or even putting up a website that claims to be the FBI etc. Heck, if you posted a craigslist ad as "I am the FBI, Call this number", and people did call it, that wouldn't be hacking craigslist right?

I used to create fake Google Places listings a while ago for SEO purposes. I would create a fake business listing called say "Concert Tickets Seattle", and then use a burner phone to create the listing. And within a couple of days you would be the top result for Concert Tickets Seattle, but there isn't much Google can do about this.

Yep, One time I was out with my Granma, I was quite young, she was around 60 at the time I think. But Arthritis and every other shitty thing you can think of had taken their grip on her.

Anyway we were walking through the park with her dog, and this other dog with it's owner is walking the other way, the dogs sniff each other out, we exchange pleasantries, and then out of nowhere the dogs start ripping each other to shreds. And I will never forget it, but my granma got pulled so hard it looked like she was in a car accident, like she had massive whiplash. She got dragged along the ground for a bit, and the whole entire time, she never left go of the lead.

Heck, I had a pretty fierce dog when I was in my teens. Good natured but wouldn't mind scraping other dogs. And I still remember it yanking me off my skateboard (he had a harness and would pull me along), and I managed to hold onto him despite grazing my knuckles like hell.
