#1 Wouldn’t this be considered intelligence collections?

#3 Don't have anything with public permissions. Then the PD would have to get a warrant.

Once its on the net the courts have ruled many times it is PUBLIC INFORMATION and does not require a warrant.

Additional Food for Thought
Many companies and yes the Fed's now include Social Media data in their Background Checks. Just look at some of the stuff put online by Gen-X'ers and then ask yourself.

Would you want that working around US National Security Data or your companies proprietary projects?

#5 It is the same thing as collecting a phone number on a police report. Many street folks do not pay to keep a phone, but they all seem to have a facebook messenger account. This is the modern day way of contacting young people.

And yes, it is the intent of "social media" to be public info unless the owner wisely selects their setting to protect themselves. You also have to have a search warrant (probable cause of a crime) to collect info that is not public facing.

#7 Has anyone else seen the commercials trying to recruit ppl for the NSA? Little off topic but I thought that was a weird way to recruit for an "intelligence" agency.

#8 I figured this is just a way to make sure none of the cops do any actual, you know, police work.
