I just read that a woman is suing because they are using a woman's cell phone selfies to create a fake FaceBook account.  In addition, they used her real name in the fake account.  I think it was reckless..

Implied consent?  Seriously?

The phone was seized.  That's not "implied consent".


I mean hell... by that reasoning they can take any phone out of the evidence locker, steal the data off of it, and set up FB accounts whenever they want to... just as long as they pretend it's to "solve crime".  

And considering that some cops still illegally confiscate phones when citizens record them...  that could end up going very badly for the phone owner.


ESPECIALLY since, in this case, they're using her REAL NAME and image.  ... she could end up being the one taking the heat for their fuckery.  Sure she's in jail right *now* but when she gets out she could still be a target for revenge cos the others will believe it really was her.

She made a deal to give evidence, she argues that she didn't consent to her identity being used.

Pixelated pictures indicate possible "Not Guilty".  More evidence required.

Work with Facebook to get control of the account, since she is being spoofed, then delete the account and all of its content.

No doubt our resident statists will think it's all ok since she's already a dastardly criminal.  

No doubt that was the same mentality of Sinnigen and his supervisors when they thought they had free reign with peoples' lives.

This is a DUPE... I'm not gonna search for the other thread however, but I'm sure someone else will shortly.
