More Reasons To Be Careful Online

Just a quick tip - if you are in trouble with the law, it is a good idea to stay far away from social networking sites! This may seem obvious, but what may be LESS obvious is that your online friends may not actually be your friends - they could be authority figures looking for information on people of interest.

More and more, criminals are being tracked down through their publicly listed friends. Also, police look for suspicious pictures of people posing with large piles of money, jewelry, or guns when solving robbery cases. Accomplices can also be identified in public photos involving crimes.

The good news: in some cases, your social networking site can provide authorities will an alibi to remove you from the list of suspects in a crime. They can use your sites to figure out where you were at a certain date and time. WOW

It's just amazing what technology can do!
