It wasn’t very smart of the police officers to say anything about how they found the fugitives. Just a stupid thing to do.

the police are now tipping off the criminals by divulging this information and since the criminal can’t talk to the reporters you know the quote about myspace came from the Newark police spokesman.

My first thought too. Not a good move.

I’m with you....NOT smart of the police to reveal all this. Couldn’t they just let the “devil” WONDER?????

"It wasn’t very smart of the police officers to say anything about how they found the fugitives."

Comes out at trial anyway. Defense has to have the information to know if clients' rights have been "violated." Then the media knows and then the general public knows.

You should know that is was not stupid of the police to say they use mypsace to catch these guys. The people using the myspace are the stupid ones. I think its pretty logical for law enforcement to turn to the web. Nothing like committing a crime and providing the police evidence via the internet.

My point is , this is not uncommon. Law enforcement checks MANY websites in most investigations, esp. those that seem gang related. And this one- definitely MS13- the machetes are a mark of MS.
