Giving Local Guide a Id Card.

[#1]

My idea can be strange for some people. But I should write. I propose create Local Guides Card - like Press Card. Sometimes I have a big trouble when I want to take photos or videos for Google Maps. Of course, it depends of countries and cities. But in Ukraine (in Kyiv, capital of my country) I had many situations when it was prohibited to take photos. The store security wanted to call police. I would like to emphasize - it's no tipical situations. Ukrainian laws are very specific. I don't know about situation in others countries. Ukrainian Constitution says: people can collect all information. But law about information says: people can collect just some information. And security can prohibit to take photos and shoot videos.

Of course every time I explain who are Local Guides. I tell about program.

I propose to create Local Guides Card for 8-10 levels.

Hi google and fellow local guide, 

I am very happy being a local guide... I would like to convey that... Instead of discounts and all... Google better send us local guide physical badges of there level, so that they can easily take the photos and videos of the new places and all.... And it is better to gift electronic items like selfie stick, gimble, action camera, google phones and products....guides will feel at most happy and concentrate more on taking the photos

لتسهيل عمل المرشدين المحلي يجب على غوغل توفير بطاقات هوية العضو ..

لتجنب الصعوبات التي نواجهها في جمع المعلومات و تصحيحها في maps and google

It would be a great initiative for all local guides all over the world.

Google should think about it.

At least Google should give ID badges to Local guides who are above Level 5.

I loved your idea.

1. Can Google give a unique identity card or in any way we can show our identity as Google local guide . Because some time any one can refuse us to take inside photos or prohibit us for photography. Or can check our authicity. Google may reserve it for levels like above level 6or level 7.
