What is wrong in this post, @Cowboy_Z is that what you say is not true everywhere.
Local Guides program belongs to Google Maps, and the Community policy says: "Take photos that clearly and accurately represent a location …
… Contributions must be based on real experiences and information. Deliberately fake edits, copied or stolen photos … are all in violation of our policy.
Users who abuse this trust will be removed from the Local Guides program"
What does it means? It means that the photo should be taken by you (real experience) and clearly and accurately represent a location.
Is the photo that you shared here reflecting your real experience of a department store in Colorado?
Is the other truck added by you in Maps clearly and accurately represent a non profit association in Texas?
Well, the answer is NO and, as you see, both are, according to the already mentioned Community policy, a good reason for removing you from the program.
This said, let’s go back to Connect (this community)
How do I follow the original content guidelines on Connect? will give you some clear indication on what content to share here, much better than what a Local Guide might have told you.
The starting point is that the words and photos you share on Connect should be your own. Originality is one of our five core values**, and we take copyright seriously.
Of course, you can give attribution for photos you received permission to use directly from the copyright owner.
Direct permission, not the use of photos that are declared as “free to use”. “Do not download and post photos from Google Search, Google Maps, social media, stock photo websites, or elsewhere on the internet without receiving permission from the owner of that photo”
Your photo used by you here (cropped) is everywhere in internet and most of the websites that give the permission of use require the credits and to add a link.
And in any case the permission cannot be extended to photos added in Google Maps.
I wrote a very long post to explain all the details of copyright and permissions. The post is on my signature, but I will share the link with you here: What if this Photo … is Yours?
I think you should read that post carefully
