i used to be in a gang. many gangs actually.
one was called the army gang. we would shoot each other with toy guns.then we had the bikers gang. we went on bike rides.
then we had the bloodhound gang. we painted a shed then called it a day.
i was 8.
was reading South London press online (the paper for round where Jonnyquest lives, comes up with corkers like “Brixton Squirrels on Crack” and “Goldfish dies of Cocaine Overdose”)
anyway it transpires that real London gangs (like ones what actuially merk people) are now bragging about tings on bebo, so Metpol and BTP are checking out the networks from those ends
also the “youngers” from these same gangs are being sent to Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk on the trains to serve up class A drugs to the bumpkins
as they sometimes do party drugs as well unfortunately its easy for people to get sucked in
The Met regularly “buddy up” with Essex/Suffolk for cross border stuff (for instance its not uncommon to see metpol units in Ipswich, both marked and even the sweeney) – what don’t help is some of the youths on dirty norfolk ravers etc are doing all the aggressive/gang poses on their photos so feds are expecting them to be a bit troublesome..
this is not good. cops are gonna put 2 and 2 together and arrive at 200…
found this on el reg..

thought I’d bump this as josh should be able to see it, maybe he can warn some of his younger friends about bebo and its risks….
i c it
ya theyre fully aware i think, they just think theyre invincible
ill be the one laughing;p
its not so much the individual youths what get in trouble (unless they are stupid enough to admit a crime online) but their friends as well
if you are below age 18 any police officer at or above the rank of Superintendent can get any info they want off a social network profile on bebo, facebook, myspace and/or similar stuff from MSN/yahoo messenger – they do not usually need court orders, just to prove they are a police officer of that rank – this has been agreed internationally under “child protection” rules…
