Cases of police as friends on facebook.
Does any one in legal studies or others, of course, know of law cases where facebook was involved for gathering law enforcement intelligence and or evidence? Not news stories I am looking for cases before a court with written judgements. I do not have access to a case law search service these days as I am no longer studying law. A number of protest students ( this is what I will call them) were just friended by three persons they don't know. Of course, some of these students added the person as a friend because they seemed to have so many mutual friends. The power of social networks eh? I would be interested in what judges have thought of this. The law tends to be behind on tech.
