It predates drones. There have been third party services that use Google Earth 
and other photo mapping services to look for changes to buildings and property. 
They sell the data to municipalities for identifying changes to properties.

The county I lived in Indiana back in 2008-2011 used a survey service for the 
property appraiser like this to bust people for improvements to their property. 
I had a neighbor who put up a garden shed and within about three months they 
got a notice of reassessment. I believe they also got busted for not getting a 
permit, too. Of course, someone for the county could have taken notice or a 
neighbor could have ratted them out, too.

Drones are slow, tedious, compared to sitting at your desk and sending in
your order to the satellite company, and the next day you get your images
back for the entire county, which you can dissect at your leisure...

That's pretty nasty.  I wonder if a jammer would be illegal.  Funny how
they try to couch the capability as something benign, that scientist will
use to "save the earth", but they also do talk about military use.  Now
imagine your local tax auditor or county building code enforcement uses
this to inspect your property and notify you that your new shed is out of
code, or your property taxes are going up because the value of your
property is higher than they thought.  Even worse, you own a very nice
piece of property in the country, and some enviro wackos decide you've got
some protected species that only they can protect adequately and you end up
fighting off The State and lawsuits and all kinds of harassment, because
your privacy can be invaded at any time.

So much for privacy - but I suspect that a metal roof will reflect the
9.65GHz beam without showing what's under it, but I could be wrong.
