Matthew Trevisan's recent article for the globe and mail highlights the use of facebook by police organizations. I completely support this practice and think that police should be using all of the technology possible to catch criminals.
In the modern age of networked communication police are fighting an uphill battle against tech savvy criminals who are using new forms of technology with criminal intentions. Whether its a illegal party host, a drug dealer, or a pedophile, people are able to commit crimes conveniently. In the show 'Dateline: To catch a criminal' pedophiles are lured into meeting what they think is a minor, but turns out to be the dateline host. They are interviewed.. and then arrested. Not only is it good to be getting these criminals off of the street... it also makes for brilliant television.
"I was going fishing"
"It sounds like what you were fishing for was sex with a 12 year old girl"
Brilliant.. just brilliant
