Social media networks and have been dominating over the last couple of years. The majority of people nowadays have facebook and twitter and we are constantly texting, posting updates on how are day is going, where we have been, where were going, pictures, events, you name it. If you are hanging around the wrong crowd or got involved in some criminal acts of some sort, be careful what you post. Police departments have realized that people let everything spill on these types of sites, so why not take advantage of it? Police officers can investigate you without a warrant, it's a gold mine of information. If you are doing something you aren't supposed to be doing, they can catch you.
The Stoughton and Randolph Police have a crime technology called "tipsoft" that allows you to text crime tips. They also have a Facebook page with over 1,000 follows. “Unfortunately, the days from the old type of community is fading away. This is a new type of community,” he said. “We’re trying to make it easier for people to interact with us without coming into the station.”
