Tell this to the guy who posted a rpg on ig.

Police is checking social media like everybody else.

Is it worth the time and taxpayers dollar to file a case against your funky ass?

Doubt it.

Im pretty sure those investigations started in the street tho. Not on social media.

they do this more in small towns.
you get that dumb kid that has over 800 friends but yet only knows 25 of them and he accepts a random request.
its the easiest way these cops do their job. many of them are in their late 20's and 30's.
He was talking about ig which is the new social media wave which is followers. So these kids want to gain up followers. They mostly use smapxhat now too
people need to stop having so many random friends/followers on their shyt while they like to brag and give up their spots and friends

My home girl used to date this police officer, he said they be stalking muthaphuckas they deem suspect on social media.

Not me I don't post none of my moves on social media or on here who you think them guests are .

There are hundreds of thousands of people on social media. That's like way too many people to randomly follow.
However, they do follow persons of interest/suspects because they are dumb enough to post about their location and activities.

Quick ig search of #pounds

Let's put it this way, if he gets caught with that much, he's going to get charged with possession with intent to distribute.
And from the looks of his cac face, he would dime out all his suppliers in a second to get a decreased prison sentence.

Well, I'll put it this way. There's too many people and even exponentially more number of posts to filter out criminal activity to just "search" for possible crimes of a misdemeanor level. So as it pertains to the meme photo, cops aren't searching for misdemeanor possession crimes. Are they out there? Yes. Is it worth the time to scour social media to generate arrest warrants? No.
There are other crimes of a felony nature, where investigators do use social media to get clues and information for existing open cases.
