According to the Daily Astorian a Facebook post by a young man after allegedly driving drunk and striking some parked cars got him arrested after a couple of his friends reported the post to police. (Facebook post lands Astoria man in jail). The post was allegedly: “Drivin drunk ... classsic ;) but to whoever's vehicle i hit i am sorry. :P”
Ignoring the issue about whether it was proper to use the man's name, which is being debated on other sites about this incident, and that the driver allegedly was drinking while intoxicated and left the scene of an accident, which are always wrong, this case should be a lesson to everyone about the possible consequences of what you post on social media.
Everyone using social media should remember:
- The internet/ social media is written in “ink” and not pencil- it is almost impossible to erase;
- Be very careful what you post and to who as, at least online, you can't trust the friends of friends and maybe not even your Facebook “friends”; and
- Don’t text/post while drunk or under the influence.
