Actually, I'm not sure what the issue is here. Facebook is a public forum. Underage drinking is an illegal act. If you post evidence of yourself committing an illegal act to a public forum, the police are free to come and arrest you, and use the pictures that you posted as evidence against you. The only complaint here seems to be that the police violated Facebook's Terms of Service in "friending" these underage drinkers and gathering evidence against them. However, I'm not sure how that's illegal in any way. If it were, undercover investigations and sting operations of all sorts would be illegal. As I see it, these are kids who were caught out in their own stupidity, for doing something that they know to be illegal, and then posting pictures. Now these same kids are whining because the police were marginally more tech-savvy than they assumed. --Rohit Patnaik On Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 10:32:53AM +0100, netinfinity wrote:
"Facebook policy requires the use of one’s real name to sign up, but they let the police use fake names.." Sure the policy says that but a lot of people are changing their names on a daily basis (ok maybe not daily). And majority of those changes are just for fun, but never the less they are against the policy. What about those people? Only way to verify or check someone's name is through IP (ISP). And that can't be done by will.. It must have some legal grounds... Let me get to the point, I'm sure that police is violating some some kind of human rights or even law's (?) -- netinfinity _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
