Sorry man, but you just come off as a government hater of sorts.

There is a line between crime fighting and being constantly monitored in the name of safety.
In our current society, some form of identification is needed. It wouldn't work without it.
The images google has are actually avaliable to the public through a private company called space imaging. I don't think google has their own satellite.
The difference is, google earth is a snapshot of a place and time, and the resolution is not that great. I don't think you can recgonize you neighbor on google earth. Cameras can pretty well distinguish people from other people.
