Social Media and Law Enforcement

Have you every thought how social media could help law enforcement. Well when an ex-wife who's ex-husband owed her back pay in child support saw where he checked in at a local mall on facebook, she called the police. So what is the moral of this story. Law enforcement is ever vigilant. Also if you owe your ex-wife back pay, watch what you put on facebook. You can read this small story out of Arizona by clicking here

This isn't the only story like this out there. Law enforcement is getting help from social media outlets all the time. It is really funny how much information people put out on the web through help of social media, and if you don't have your settings set correctly, anyone wanting to look can including law enforcement officers. So what does this mean. Well if you like to get on facebook or twitter or some other social media sight and tell where you are at every 5 minutes, your parents, friends, and TOTAL STRANGERS can follow you around. Moral of the story? Make sure who sees what you post is who you want to see it, and be careful what information you put out there.

As always its just a friendly suggestion by me and my own opinion!
