It may cause you some problems.
If you need generic sort of photos, you're better off looking at Pixabay or other image sites with a vast array of copyright-free images.
If you're after specific photos, it becomes a bit more tricky. My advice would be to stay away from any images that are from Google Shopping in particular. And for anything else, do an advanced search in Google, which allows you to search for images that are not copyright restricted. If you absolutely must use an image that has copyright attached, make sure you credit the source. And have a good DMCA page on your site, including an email address where you can be contacted. Hosting outside of the US is also advised.

Short answer: No, it's not allowed.
Long answer: Unless you are "stealing" from a big company that can threaten to sue you without much effort, nobody (including google) is going to care in >95% of cases, especially if you cite/link the source properly. Worst case scenario, they will email you to take it down.

If you want less of a chance for people to find you, alter the source photos. It becomes a lot harder to reverse image search your theft, and even harder to prove if you do it right.
Won't be much of an issue, unless you become big, or someone really has a hate-boner after you.

NO, it's not allowed. It may cause different problems. Google always wants a unique pic.

Would be better off using a free-photo site to avoid problems regarding copyright.

If the image is free to use, then it is not a problem.
If not and you don't have permission for that image, then it's a copyright infringement. It will be a problem if the owner of image finds out. Providing reference some might accept and some may not.

when you download an image, copy paste a note where from and date and time download.
sound extreme but might save you legal cash.

It's illegal to use images from others sites. Not only Google Adsense your website can also get removed from Google search for copyright notice.
This is very risky dear. I suggest you create your own images using free tools like Canva, Photoshop, etc. for long term income from your website.
