Under Operation Crew Cut,
the Department intends to double the size of its Gang Division from
approximately 150 detectives to 300 phased in over a period of time. In
addition to tracking the admissions of criminal conduct and plans of future
crimes by crew members on Facebook, You Tube and elsewhere, the division will
be responsible for maintaining a dictionary of sorts with a continually updated
lexicon employed by crews as a kind of code".
According to Kelly, who
runs one of the world's most technologically advanced police departments, with
a rapidly growing surveillance capability, new guidelines for officers
using social media as part of criminal investigations has been issued. This is
to instil the proper balance between the investigative potential of social
network sites and privacy expectations,
Therefore, next time folks,
you better think hard before you spill the beans on Facebook, Twitter or any
other means of social media because they might haunt you in the court. It is
always good to reserve certain things to yourselves and not sharing it with the
whole world- wide- web!
