Adventures in LaLaLand

I went somewhere I wasn't supposed to yesterday. Nevermind where. But on Google Earth today, I got to see a very close-up shot of that same place.

It'd be very easy for a company to pay someone like Google to take real-time shots of their property and a computer discerns whether someone is trespassing. Now I dont' want to give ideas to companies. Only to point out how easy it is with simple online tools (forgetting what kind of sophisticated equipment the governments is probably hiding) to track and then to execute some kind of police call (or Death Ray strike from space).

Well, they're doing pretty much the same thing at Toll Booths by taking pictures of people's license plates when they don't pay the toll. Will this kind of surveillance be far away. Probably not. Is it any reason to be worried? Not if the creeping fascism creeps slowly enough.
