Social media is everywhere. It is almost impossible to miss it no matter how hard you try. Now, imagine what happens if you, like almost anybody on the planet, actively takes part in it? Consider the photos you take, the places you go, the things you write and more. Now, imagine if you get charged with a crime in Minnesota and prosecutors want to look at public social media to figure out who you are, where you go, what you do, who you know, everything. Crimes could include everything from DWI< domestic assault, drug crimes, rape and sexual assault and even murder.

It is amazing to realize that technology originally used to fight international terrorism organizations could then be turned around and used right here in the U.S. to prosecute people.
