Police use Facebook to make bust at after-prom party

From WCBS880:

Police in northern New Jersey infiltrated Facebook to learn that students were planning to bring alcohol and drugs to an after-prom party. The police created fake identities to enter the social networking site and found what Fair Lawn High School students were going. Officers stopped the caravan a few miles from the high school and arrested four 17-year-old boys who officers say were carrying marijuana, scales and baggies commonly used to package the drug.

School Superintendent Bruce Watson says the district doesn’t check Facebook on a regular basis unless there’s a reason. Watson says the district generally leaves Internet patrolling to police. Police Sgt. Derek Bastinck says teenagers are caviler about accepting people into their network of friends.

Wow! Do you know everyone on your friends list? If there’s a Mr. Orange, I tell you, he’s the cop!
