Google has missed the Connecticut Attorney General Office's 5 p. m. Friday deadline for turning over the data which the company said it had inadvertently collected via the cameras of its Street View project.

Even though Attorney General Richard Blumenthal's office had issued Google a so-called `civil investigative demand' for turning over the payload data, the Wall Street Journal obtained a statement from the office implying that the company had already decided against adhering to the demand.

According to the details shared by the Attorney General's Office, the civil investigation demand - which is basically a subpoena - was issued to Google on December 10. The office had asked Google to turn over the data which, as Google has acknowledged, the company's Street View cars accidentally gathered over unsecured Wi-Fi networks.

At the time of issuing the civil investigation demand, Blumenthal has said that his office needed to verify the kind of confidential information Google had stealthily and wrongfully collected and stored. Blumenthal had said that a review this information was vital for "assessing a penalty and assuring no repeat."

Hinting that legal action will now be taken against Google, Blumenthal said in a Friday statement: "I am disappointed by Google's failure to comply with my information demands. We will review any information we receive and consider whether additional enforcement steps -- including possible legal action -- are warranted."
