wendyps Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) okay, that is just downright freaky. I don't know if I like the fact that I could be walking down the street and my image would be on here! They even have residential pics!!! You don't work for the department of homeland security do you? seriously though, who takes all these pictures? is it some kind of group thing like wikpedia?

RedScare Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 i think they have trucks with mounted cameras that "patrol"According to their info when they first released this site, that is exactly what they do. Cameras are mounted on both sides of a vehicle and take x number of photos per block. They claim to be constantly uploading more pics, even though it doesn't appear that way to me. Pretty interesting site, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are companies that do this sort of thing. They sell the pictures to insurance companies and tax districts and such. Mu guess is that A9 is just licensing the images the way State Farm would.
