For the homeowner with a "unlicensed" pool about to be ass-raped in whatsitcalled New York: #1 Find out when that ordinance was passed #2 Let them know that you: a) built it yourself b) before the ordinance date |

Unlicensed pools are a safety concern?

Quoted: Unlicensed pools are a safety concern? Yes, New York is the ultimate nanny state. No fireworks of any kind as they are too dangerous for mere mortals. Even the "safe and sane" kiddie stuff. Just about anything that could be considered "fun" in New York is probably restricted or banned. You almost need permission to use the potty. |

The town probably got the idea from a story about the Greeks doing the exact same thing to raise tax revenues. They found literally hundreds to thousands of undocumented pools.
Hmmmm....I give it 10 years...we're well on our way. |

When I was growing up, we had one of them 3 foot deep by 12 around pools we got at the waltermart, the town found out, and made us put up a fence, with a locking gate..... I wish I had pics, it was the stupidest looking thing... |

Quoted:
Leroy Barnes Jr. said the unpermitted pools were a safety concern. He said that without the required inspections there was no way to know whether the pools were up to code.. This is what bothers me the most. Because we all know it's bullshit. IT"S ABOUT THE FUCKING MONEY! We know that, they know that, so why insult us. |

Quoted:
I've used aerial and sat maps to tell if someone was lying to me before. Same here. Actively hunting something down isn't very good "public service" but I have used it to verify what someone has said to me. The argument I always hear in favor of it is "Well, person A did everything by the book and person B did not. Shouldn't we be finding person B to keep things fair for person A". I've got mixed feelings about it but privacy is less the more things are out on the internet for public viewing. |

The solution is quite simple. Cammo net over the pool and use forest green pool paint instead of caribbean blue. 
Or paint he pool tennis court green and paint tennis court lines on the bottom. |

Oklahoma City's current picture is from April 2010. With the Google Earth program, you can actually select which photo you want via their archives. Some go back well over 10 years.

They found that it was a legal search because it's in plain view for anyone in an aircraft. There is no expectation of privacy from overhead traffic. |

It's interesting to me that ARFCOM members have a serious problem with the .gov using Google Earth to fine people for not pulling pool permits but when I talk about traffic cameras on our freeways being fed thru license plate number recognition software nobody gives a shit.
