News Police launch Facebook app

The Greater Manchester Police force has launched a Facebook app which it hopes will allow all those switched-on social networkers to "help with their enquiries."

 

I think this has potential, really at it's core how different is it from an anonymous hotline and it doesn't seem any less or more secure nor prone to abuse.

 

Except hotlines can't go snooping round your house and picking through your bins for evidence of wrong doing - wheras it sounds like this app can do just that to your facebook profile.

 

This is a great idea.
Name me one person that's not criminally insane who uses facebook more than 10 mins/month.

 

Surely when you add it, you just dont give the app access to your profile

 

Dyu think they'll do the "Are you a Love Match" test?

 

lol dodgy, the fuzz are so sneaky

 

Do people still use facebook?

 

I use it to play Scrabble.

 

ha .."bobbies"
well, i guess if you don't like the implications of the applet.. just don't install it, eh?
