Eye in the Sky


The video above is an actual commercial that runs regularly in Pennsylvania.
It depicts yet another technique the government is using to coerce debtors into coughing up the cash.
Aerial images are being used to enforce laws:
-Police officers use it for criminal recon
-Lawyers now use Google Earth to examine whether or not residents have obtained proper building permits for possessions such as swimming pools.

Consumer Watchdog reports the FBI has invested more than $600k in Google Earth since 2007
The Drug Enforcement Administration has spent more than $67k.
