A town on New York’s Long Island is using Google Earth to find backyard pools that don’t have the proper permits.

The town of Riverhead has used the satellite image service to find about 250 pools whose owners never filled out the required paperwork.

Violators were told to get the permits or face hefty fines. So far about $75,000 in fees has been collected.

What else can be found with Google Earth?

They’ll soon be covering their pools with camo nets like the marijuana growers do.
