Law enforcement communities and private detectives understand the impact social media can have. For example in the recent London riots, which then spread to other parts of the country, Facebook and other social media sites were heavily used amongst the young people who made up the majority of those rioting.
The police and judicial response to the riots have been swift and strong which includes arresting and charging individuals who encouraged violence, disorder and looting on social networking sites such as Facebook.
A private detective service today has to be familiar with technology and communication. The police, the judiciary and the government have all seen the rise of social media. What they must also understand is that it is more than just a communication tool for many. It represents freedom of expression and opinion which need to be handled accordingly.
