"The town of Riverhead on Long Island usedGoogle Earth to search all back yards in the town for illegal swimming pools.
They found about 250 pools built without permits and collected about $75,000 in fines."

This came from Mystery Reader. I remember prosecuting drug cases where the search warrant was based on aerial surveillance, and the Supreme Court ruled on issues such as how high the plane had to be, etc. But now government can use Google Earth and zoom right in.
