I was watching the local news yesterday and I saw a segment on one of the strategies used by a local police station to catch "Wanted" criminals as well as have a more interactive means of communicating and keeping abreast with their constituents or should I say residents living within their area of responsibility. The news said that they posted the faces and important descriptions and data about those who are "wanted" by the law. Through their facebook account they were able to get leads and inputs as well as give warnings and updates to those who seek police assistance. Are you in favor to this kind of police activity? Indeed, the police are also using widely used tools to be abreast with the changing times. But, there could also be some drawbacks on this. what's your opinion? Feel free to share your thoughts, views, reactions and comments on this.. Have a good day and happy myLotting! :D

i think they should be able to use it. i don't see anything wrong with it and really don't get what the drawbacks would be.
