Do police, prosecutors and other agencies look at your facebook
page in an effort to build their case aginst you? Yes.
Not only will they search your name on the internet to find out
more information that may be favorable to their prosecution of
you, some police agencies in Wisconsin are actually using
facebook to set people up for underage drinking tickets.
According to the La Crosse Tribune, several UW La Crosse students have recently been asked to come to the police station to discuss pictures of themselves holding alcohol on Facebook. The article and related interview of one of the alleged underage drinkers suggests that the La Crosse police posed as a cute 19 year old girl to get students to friend them. Then the police obtain pictures of the underage college students drinking and has them come to the police station to discuss. According to the story, four students have pled no contest to underage drinking based on the Facebook photos obtained by the police. They had to pay a fine of $227. This practice shows the importance of consulting with a Wisconsin criminal defense lawyer before speaking with the police. As it turns out, the students admitted to underage drinking when confronted with the photos. |
