MySpace: Be Careful What You Post

By Amy Odell / February 22, 2007

Be careful what you post on MySpace. It may lead to your arrest.

Police made five arrests Tuesday and Wednesday in Florida after using MySpace to crack, pun intended, an alleged drug ring. Through MySpace networking cops made undercover transactions, probably of cocaine and marijuana, which led to the arrests. The cop that led the bust was turned on to the power of MySpace in 2006 by his teenage son. Way to go, kiddo! Ruin all our fun, why don't you?

Police arrested a 15-year-old high school sophomore who supposedly created a phony MySpace page for one of hs teachers with the poor fellow's yearbook picture. The kid thought it was a joke. The police, a felony ("fraudulent use of information"). He left school in handcuffs.

A woman in Fresno watched her daughter fight (like, rolling around on the ground fight) with a 14-year-old girl. An unknown sicko videotaped it–for SEVEN MINTUES–and posted it on MySpace. The mother will go to jail for 30 days.

Thank God Carly Ryan used MySpace. The 15-year-old Australian was found dead Tuesday morning. Police are studying her profile for clues into her " 'goth' and 'emo' world." The links on her profile supposedly show "graphic images involving bondage, suicide, and drug use."

    Two weeks ago, nineteen students were [[http://tinyurl.com/2fkwt6|suspended for eight days]] from an Ontario high school, for what the school termed "cyber-bullying"–posting obscene and insulting messages about the principal on Facebook, including juxtapositions of his photo with those of Hitler and bin Laden.
