Facebook Crime Awareness Page..

[LiamB]

My local town has a Crime Awareness page on facebook, it can be used to report anything from someone driving up and down your road many times (couriers 99.9% of the time) to finding a bunch of keys on the floor! I find it bizarre as everyone is like a power happy vigilante out to get anyone doing wrong. Recently we have had a couple of non related stabbings, and anyone wearing a hood is automatically a knife wielding chav and is reported to the police!

Anyone else live in a freak town full of paranoid people? I suppose its like neighbourhood watch but multiplied by 10..

Aberdeen has 'Fubar News' on facebook. A generally okay place, lost cats, stolen cars etc, even local business do competitions, 'find the voucher' etc. But theres a lot of dross & Jeremy Kyle watching neds that just go on and spout rubbish. Essentially going full retard, except it's vigilante retard.


It's a weird one, sometimes it's great and other times it makes me want to get as far away from facebook as I can.

There a few of those 'spotted' pages down here, every so often you'll see stuff like 'a bloke in a white van was seen near a school, he must be a peado'.

Or my favourite, if a unmarked police vehicle pulls you over, dail 112 from your mobile and the police can pin point your location using 24 style surveillance.

Sounds like an opportunity..... walk around in a black and white hoop stripe shirt with a large sack with "Swag" written on it.
