In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
tax assessors use them.
built a new shed out of sight from the road to store parts? no problem, we'll add it to your list.
pushed the parts car out for a few days to make space? no problem there either.

if we have the technology to receive signals from Voyager 1 which is a billion miles away just imagine where the drones info goes.
and how quick it gets there, and how detailed it can be.
add in a good dose of AI for some real shenanigans.
Canaan's tax assessor uses a pickup truck.

Or Jim could just fly it into a tree.
If I was flying one of those drones, I would have crashed it into a house by now and the neighborhood would be on fire.

They're checking backyards for junk vehicles. LOL.

Makes sense to me. Wonder what it'd cost to cover 0.89 acres high enough to go over a 2 story building?

No, you shoot them down you still get in trouble.
Problem with shooting them down is that they're still a relatively small target and the bullet has to land someplace.
