Kiwi police use Facebook to nab failed safecracker
by Acidus at 5:33 pm EST, Jan 15, 2009

If there's anything the Internet likes to do, it's amateur detective work. And what better way to put such inklings to work than for the police to use social networking sites to help solve crimes? Such is the case with a New Zealand police department, who used Facebook to identify a man accused of trying to crack a safe by posting security camera footage to the site. The trick is clever and apparently works, though it has privacy advocates concerned.

This is getting more and more like a movie.
