I had a look around, but I don't think there are any sources for Forensic Data that are publicly available. I don't know of any resources where data that has been extracted from some crime scene(s) can be downloaded. How could one

Zooming in on some places and taking the lat-long into google maps is interesting. Can't really tell if it's intentional burning or not, I guess it must be with the sheer amount of spot fires. Here is one for example: https:&#x2F

Fair enough, but also keep in mind that what constitutes a crime changes over time and culture. The law is also vulnerable to interpretation, for better or for worse, by those who enforce it.

It seems to me that armed drones have already taken on the new long-loitering fire support platform. Although there are programs looking into a cost efficient replacement that still fulfills the `guy-in-an-armed-flying-metal-box replacement

Oh I forgot to add that this would be amazing for disaster relief and Search and Rescue. Imagine sending in a little robot for rescue that also maps out in 3d the interior of a collapsed building!

Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed reading that. I have found personally I enjoy the more interactive learning more engaging. There are some pretty nifty online carto-courses floating around. I know Esri runs a free one every now and then

Ask yourself who the aircraft has been deployed against. Then ask yourself what would happen if it were deployed against someone comparable to the United States. During the 1980's within "two weeks [of full hostilities between the

Potentially, but I am sure you find use from zooming around in 3d before going into streetview and taking a closer look, as being able to look on from up is a useful perspective. At least I can find streetview disorienting at times. Maybe i

Fair point, for me 'massively' would be an significant amount of time / confusion saved. Whenever I want to go catch a bus at an overseas metro station, try find a shop in a unfamiliar mall, or even try find where a clients d

Let me rephrase: what happens when the developing world, larger in population size, reaches the wealth of the developed world. Has the problem dissipated upon reaching that point?

By you do you mean 'I', or you as in 327 million individuals that make up the population of the United States? Do you think it's easy to convince a nations population to push for change, if it was then issues like climate cha
