Well, duh. Once something is in the public domain anyone can use it to “spy” on anyone else. And, of course, there is nothing to stop an IRS agent from driving by your house to look around.
Just say’in.
Without probable cause of a CRIME having been committed and a warrant based thereon, neither the IRS nor any government agency should be searching or monitoring ANYTHING as we all have the right to be left to live our lives in peace and secure in our persons and property.
Yet another reason the IRS code has to be repealed. The raising of money does not give the government authority to raise revenue in a way that involves government collecting and knowing about personal business of citizens.
What if that's the way the people of that neighborhood want it? What if the HOA was for weed and animal management or some other purpose? The IRS is not in the business of deciding what neighborhoods should look like.
Yeah, my home insurer used the pictures to remove a wind mitigation for my roof citing it was not a “hip” roof by the required percentage.
It cost me 150 to have a mitigation inspector shove it up their backsides together with a complaint to the state insurance commission which said well, they did it in good faith pending the report from your inspector.
Moral, when the insurance industry pays off the state legislature with huge “support” donations, they know what they are doing. There is no justice here any longer as the O care legislation proves also. Time to go for the Gadsden Flags.
everyone uses Google Maps to spy on each other.
I know I do as have some of the stalker witches who occassion to visit my life.
Sadly for them, will they see is my P.O. Box.
Stoopit wenches.
I had enough of their surprise visits and vain attempts to convince me I need them in my life.

there USED to be a line of case law tht prevented policy/investigators from using third parties to cicumvent the warrant requirments.
perhaps we do need a federal privacy amendment.
And their numbers continue to grow.
Now even a road is pretext enough take, take, take.
Something I noticed is that as I get down closer and then in ‘Street View’ the view changes to several years back, same with Bing. I had a huge Oak tree taken off my front lawn five years ago that just went away, but the neighbor that moved out eight months ago is still showing his equipment and vehicles.
Is Google running ‘Street View’ at the behest of FedGov?
This is what you get when we have a system where the government is charged with the responsibility of collecting taxes from income.
If we had a Fair Tax system, all of this would be completely moot would it not? The amount and source of income would be irrelevant.

Google wanders around on public property and takes pictures. That seems legal.
If a government agency uses publicly available data to make a case, that's the way it is.
I DO wonder a bit about police cars cruising around capturing license plates, but while it seems evil, how is that illegal?
These people should be looking over there shoulders at ALL times.
You just never know when an accident might happen.
