Police Use Facebook to Make Bust at Prom Party
Found on WCBS 880 on Sunday, 17 May 2009
Police in northern New Jersey infiltrated Facebook to learn that students were planning to bring alcohol and drugs to an after-prom party.
Police created fake identities to enter the social networking site and found what Fair Lawn High School students were going.
School Superintendent Bruce Watson says the district doesn't check Facebook on a regular basis unless there's a reason. Watson says the district generally leaves Internet patrolling to police.
Oh, if the cops do it, it's fine. But if someone else, let's call her Lori D., sets up a fake MySpace account, then she has to expect three years in jail. Must be great to be a cop who doesn't have to care about laws.
