Social Media and Legal expectation of your privacy…
Law enforcement across the county of San Diego are using social media sites FaceBook and Twitter for everything these days. Convicting vandals, drunks and thieves, as well as recruiting new officers. Should you expect any legal rights to privacy on your social media pages?
In a recent KPBS interview, Peggy Pico interviewed San Diego Superior Court Judge David Danielson and atty Alex Simpson about the use of smart phones, tablets and social media and the activities they should be used for in a court room.
This is not a new discussion in November of 2009 Jenn Van Grove of Mashable talked with San Diego’s NBC 7 morning news about local law enforcement using social media in the day to day work of law enforcement. Tweeting amber alerts, road closures and using the accounts as listening posts for community activity….
Convicted because of something found on social media?
