I almost came to blows with a guy doing this in our neighborhood last year.
We walked out to go to school one morning and here's a man slowly driving up
our street taking digital pictures of every HOUSE. "Excuse me -- but WHAT
are you doing?" I cannot remember the name of the company he worked for --
but they are taking pictures of every house and then making them available
for sale to real estate companies and government agencies I suppose anyone
who wants to pay the $35.00. However -- since I "caught" him and raised
such a stink he made a "notation" that homeowner requested no picture. He
said he would not take a picture of a home if there was an identifiable
person in the frame. HOWEVER -- if your "Stuff" was in the picture -- so be
it. So, for $35.00 if you'd like to buy a picture of my neighbor's house
you'll find out they drive a late model mini van and have at least one boy
and one girl -- their bigwheels were out front. The other neighbor got his
brand new Envoy and Yukon photographed. And, if you look hard enough you
might be able to figure out which window is street level, obstructed by
bushes and would make easy entrance. Then again I'm paranoid.
