It’s actually a bit frightening to see that the cops can arrest a person 5 minutes after posting something on the Internet. Did they get a search warrant to make Facebook turn over the IP address of the post, and then get a search warrant for the perp’s ISP to track the IP address to a physical address?

In five minutes? Probably not.

I didn't click on the link. My guess would be either a small town and/or a known criminal. There was a thing on the news the other night about underage girls getting approached by pimps in Seattle and getting enticed into it (and then never able to get out).

One of the undercover video shots with female cops and the pimps had the reporter say of the pimp “known on the street as Red Dog...” He was caught and did a plea deal and was out again.

The "thank you to the community" the police posted after the arrest suggests to me that a concerned citizen phoned the police with information as to his whereabouts.

Read the fine print in the Users Agreement. They don’t and won’t require a warrant if you are violating the UA to engage in criminal activity.

They probably got a warrant or consent on the brother’s phone, got this guy’s number and a warrant for the cell data from the phone company. Doesn’t take nearly as long as getting ISP data.
