Drones Reveal Widespread Tax Evasion In Argentina

Tailhook (98486) writes "The Argentine government has used drones to reveal 200 homes and 100 pools in an upper class area about ten miles south of Buenos Aires that had not been detailed on tax returns. Tax officials said the drones took pictures of luxury houses standing on lots registered as empty. The evasions found by the drones amounted to missing tax payments of more than $2 million and owners of the properties have been warned they now face large fines."

Google Street View, Google Satellite View are all now being used by lazy local governments.

A rare example of governments using a cheap, effective method to do their jobs rather than finding an expensive and inefficient way to do it.
