Are there satellites pointing all over the place, all the time? Is it recorded?

Ever see "Enemy of the State" with Gene Hackman and Will Smith? US government spy satellites are probably more accurate than they were in that movie. I've heard reports of them being able to resolve a car's license plate and also see a cigarette on the bumper of the car.

I don't know. I would imagine just population centers are always recorded, but I don't know about the heart of Africa.
