Is it common for police to use social media and email to get evidence?

Any reply to police would be very handy for evidence. Better than relying on the memory of police conversations, that may not be needed in court for months later.

Sounds good to me.

Unlike many on here I'm on the side of law and order, not lawbreakers.

[P.T.F.C.]

the police and the Scottish Prison Service both use social media,to catch the daft konts that boast about their crimes

Yes it's common now.. Police takes help from social media to solve cases...
