A Canadian company, Zaio,(no relation to Zorro) is currently photographing every single house in Tucson. All 300,000 of them. This info comes via The Jaywalk Blog
The images will go into a database the company hopes to sell to banks, insurance companies and real estate agents.
Where’s the value to the consumer? And what about privacy rights?

OSA Editorial Comments:
A really good friend of mine is reporting on this subject, I think we we all need to beaware of this problem and the implications of this type of Home Invasion!
One of the easiest ways to protect yourself is to use common sense, when cyber criminal’s and the common crooks set “US” up as potential marks, they will; and are using very sophisticated techniques that are very subtle, and most people are not aware of just how susceptible they can be…
So, always beware of your surroundings, if you were going down a dark alley you have to pay attention to everything, and the small details such as: feet scuffling, a shadow that moves across a wall, a cat screeching in the distance, etc….
One simple thing to watch for, when you’re checking your neighborhood and home is to look for any thing that looks out of place, becuase if crooks are setting up you or your home, you’ll start to notice something completely different than what sould be at your address that shouldn’t be there! This is a Big Red Flag or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, usually this is also a red flag… always listen to your (GUT) instinct!
We have to be very smart when it comes to picking the right home security system for our home protecetion! Make sure you are using the most up to date home security for your house and your family!
