    One of our senior engineers has a kid who is doing time in prison for brandishing a weapon during a street racing event. Police arrested him but dropped the charges as no one wanted to talk.

    Almost a Year Later: Street racing kid posts video of himself brandishing the same weapon at a different street racing event - the DA/police were monitoring his social media the whole time - which leads to people testifying and producing video for the previous brandishing incident.

    That is what this reminds me of. Social media has made self-incrimination easier than ever.

      this reminds me of a time i was driving down a local highway when i got passed by a smoking cop car with the lights off that was being chased by a whole squad of pigs. turned out it was a person that had been arrested and had then stolen the cop car :sicko-pig:. anyway, that was one of my professors daughters, we found out one lecture when he got a call from her from jail.
