personally i don't see anything wrong with them keep an eye out for lawbreakers. social media is there for anyone to use, even police officers. the two idiots in question posted on a public interface. did they think some good minded citizen wouldn't point such stupidity out to the police.
the police openly admit they thought of closing the sites down but resisted because of the law. and rightly so. instead they did the next best thing. they read public pages of the net, they didn't actually do anything wrong or underhand. as for the 4 year sentence they got, fuck em. they got it for inciting people to riot. (amusingly non took place) what they should have been charged with was conspiracy to riot or loot, i think conspiracy carries a larger sentence, if you conspire to commit murder you can get 14 years to life i think, 4 years is good enough. truth be told, the public should be aware as whats going on on media sites and inform the police. it actually the moral thing to do, if it were two guys talking about how they were going to molest a child the public would be in uproar. jmo
