Firm offers hi-res satellite imagery of crime scenes

Firm offers hi-res satellite imagery of crime scenes

The site http://www.iig-associates.com/imagery.html

claims it can find you satellite license-plate photographs of crime scenes
in the past ten years.

Or at least, if you PAY them, they can LOOK for such pictures.

Are they a TOTAL scam?

This says it all:
"At a 2 metre resolution it is possible to read a vehicle license plate. "

Hey! If you're going to quote, do it properly.

"At a 2 metre resolution it is possible to read a vehicle license plate.
... provided the vehicle in question is 30 metres tall."

(Hmm, never thought I'd see an alt.conspiracy cross-post in a
moderated group ;-)

I've never quite understood how they can read a licence plate from space,
unless the plate is ontop of the vehicle that is.

Surely it is at the wrong orientation to be readable from so high up?

Can somebody explain this please?

True. On the other hand, it is common practice for 14-screen trucks, cop
cars and the like to have big (2 foot high) identification numbers
painted onto the roof of the vehicle. This *is* readable from good
satellite images.

Not at the 2 meter resolutions the website offers in the fine print.
