A few years back there were news reports of government agency night time flyovers with IR cameras. What they were looking for was to create a report that the fire department could use, so when they entered a house during a fire, they would know where the occupied bedrooms were. Did it actually happen, I have no doubt in some areas it did. Is it happening now on a regular basis? With most city governments strapped for cash, this seems very unlikely. Those kinds of things happen sporadically, we know of periodic reports of government flyovers resulting in zoning violations on private property.
While it is not happening currently, I have no doubt it will happen much more often in the near future with drone surveillance. No doubt with local city governments jonesing for power, they will be all over that intel.
