[Air-L] Cases of police as friends on facebook.

[Peter Timusk]

Does any one in legal studies or others, of course, know of law cases  
where facebook was involved for gathering law enforcement intelligence  
and or evidence?

Not  news stories I am looking for cases before a court with written  
judgements. I do not have access to a case law search service these  
days as I am no longer studying law.

A number of protest students ( this is what I will call them) were  
just friended by three persons they don't know.

Of course, some of these students added the person as a friend because  
they seemed to have so many mutual friends. The power of social  
networks eh?

I would be interested in what judges have thought of this. The law  
tends to be behind on tech.
