You took this word from a woman? They were probably refreshing Google Earth!
I LOL atball the GFY aerospace engineers and their advanced knowledge of spy satellites. I have no doubt that there are some pretty advanced fucking satellites way out there, that could probably read the newspaper with you. The government has got all sorts of fucked up technologies that no common man seems to know about until 50 years after its been in use.
That being said though, I do have to agree, the idea that a city of 50,000 is using this sort technology in their local PD is fucking ridiculous...
