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.

Not to worry. As my sister’s DA friend told her “ It’s almost impossible to commit the perfect crime if you can’t shut up, and most criminals have the need to share their secret with someone.”

Well, I wouldn’t be worried about this case too much. First off, I don’t think that too many of these guys read newspapers. Second, the premise of the article isn’t supported by the facts as reported. This case was busted with tips from informants, not with MySpace pages. I certainly think the detective was smart in doing what he did online, but ultimately it was solved the way most cases are—a phone call from someone with eyes on the ground.
