“It is shocking how many young people boast on social media about crimes they commit. For police and prosecutors, social media has become a useful tool to catch and convict criminals, who post evidence such as video or photos of themselves committing the crime or showing off stolen goods from a crime scene,” Tony Blackman, 34, of Salem, Oregon, told YourJewishNews.com after the arrest of the five suspects.

Why do people need to tell us this? These perps are stupid. If we keep telling them it is a bad idea to post videos of themselves doing crimes, they eventually realize that IT IS a bad idea to post videos of themselves doing crimes and will be harder to catch.

You would not believe the things that people posted that had Masters degrees, and were going for 6 figure salaries.
