was told planes fly overhead for aerial photos once a year to seek out remodeled homes for tax collection p how can they tell--by looking at the roof? all they can pull off an aerial is the roof plan. there has been a lifting of military restrictions on relatively high-res satellite photos for commercial use. these have good enough res to pick up floorplan additions which change the bird's-eye view, along with pools and such, but they ain't going to pick up the new granite countertop or the jacuzzi bathtub. i think some tax districts use the satellites. one thing i am wondering is how the satellite TV companies monitor for piracy. i am guessing they look for dishes on unregistered houses. maybe this is one reason why Dish and DirecTV want to merge--so they can share their databases. perhaps the satellite resolution is now good enough to pick up the dishes--probably 6" to 1' res--or maybe they just drive around neighborhoods with binoculars. i just read that OJ got sued over this.
