According to a national report, about a third of police departments are looking at social media accounts such as Facebook as part of their background check for hiring new officers. They are weeding out a lot of applicants who, it turns out, are pirates, engage in Mafia wars, and tend to farms.
Police chiefs are dismayed to have learned that many of the applicants who want to be cops have been guilty of tagging.
Police executives agree that modern police techniques and technology should only be in the hands of individuals who demonstrate civic responsibility even online. Applicants who only have a MySpace account can be trusted with technology up until 2007.
