Facebook offers much to law enforcement, perhaps more than many might think. Last week, a Pennsylvania man was arraigned for felony burglary, having allegedly broken into a woman’s home and stolen jewelry. The defendant seemingly played a big role in ensuring his capture: he checked his Facebook page during the burglary. The victim noticed that the defendant’s Facebook account appeared on her computer after the burglary. No joke. This takes harming oneself through social networking to a new level.
