What Could Possibly Go Wrong: NYPD Trawling Facebook, Twitter for Gun-Flashing Gang Bangers

The gun grabbers’ mantra: if we can save one child with more gun control, even if it means limiting law abiding Americans’ ability to save themselves or their children, it’s worth it (paraphrasing). Well how about this: if we can save one child by cops spying on citizens’ Facebook and Twitter accounts, it’s worth it. The nydailynews.com is down with that. “What’s not to ‘like’ about an innovative NYPD approach to getting guns off the streets of Brownsville?” Like. Funny. “Police in the crime-plagued Brooklyn neighborhood are confiscating more guns than any other cops in the city by tracking dimwitted gang members on Facebook and other social networking sites.” The evidence backing up that assertion is weaker than intermediate vector bosons; I suspect the picture above was staged. And how do cops ID the account holders? Never mind. The ACLU and New York Civil Liberties Union are completely cool with cops sticking their noses under the electronic tent. You?
