Of course, forgive me, I'm in the U.S. so see them more. @nswpolice and @wmpolice are to be commended for using Twitter. However, neither follow their citizens back so they're missing out on the whole point - the interaction. Social media is supposed to be SOCIAL.I hope, at least, that nswpolice are monitoring what people are saying about them on Twitter. There's some interesting stuff out there! ;-) Thanks! @lawscomm Some of the best LE agencies on Twitter are Toronto Police (@1800222TIPS and @trafficservices) Boca Raton Police (@bocapolice) Bellevue, Nebraska Police (@bellevuepolice) Boise, Idaho (@boisepd).

You'd have to hope people wouldn't misuse the clips in any way and I'm sure they would be liable if they were using them in a way that proved dangerous.

But it also introduces a challenge before Twitter, Verification of accounts. "Verified Accounts" was recently announced by Twitter. If this is not expanded, there are chances that the social media can be misused. There can be cases of fake Twitter accounts created to defame persons. Such cases must be tackled This is a good development. But it also introduces a challenge before Twitter, Verification of accounts. “Verified Accounts” was recently announced by Twitter.

I'm sure the powers that be have thought about such things, but initially I'd be cautious about posting CCTV clips on Youtube. Sometimes those videos fall into the wrong hands/blogs and may end up causing more embarrassment/damage/pain to the victims.
