Is it fair for the police to check your facebook and myspace pages? - Drake - 10-15-2012 08:38 PM
I think it is fair game personally. I support a person's right to privacy, but facebook and myspace are public sites that anyone can access. It is a big bulliten board. Would you post pictures of you smoking a bong out on a light post probably not.

I totally agree with you!! If you are dumb enough to do illegal things on a public site then you deserve to get the police to look at it!! When you sign up for the site you know from the get go that its public!! People just dont think!!

You make yorself a target, possibly. They can't do anything with a picture as they have to have what's called "probable cause". In other words, they have to catch you in (person) in the act.
Bottom line, don't put something like that on the Internet!

Some employers are also looking up people on these sites, and then using it as part of teh criteria to determine if a person should be hired. Would you want to hire a person you find on myspace smoking a bong?
Basically, I put stuff on my page (Yahoo 360) that I don't mind if my grandmother sees. Any thing else is private and personal, and stays that way.
