Role of Social Media in Criminal Investigations
Law enforcement officials understand the value of social media and the role evidence obtained therefrom can play in criminal investigations. Whenever you post something, think twice about who can potentially see it and the potential consequences.
Examples of ways that social media can lead to criminal charges:
- Cyberstalking (making threats, bullying or harassing others using social media)
- When a person uploads a video of a crime, police can use it to identify suspects
- Using social media to facilitate financial scams
- Soliciting minors into engaging in sex acts through social media
- Uploading pictures of cash or assets that were obtained illegally
- If you are on parole or probation and are depicted in a picture or video doing something that violates your parole, you could be violated.
