Internet as a means of enforcement
In the United States of the 21st century, they are learning how to use computer technology to enforce traffic laws. A young man was caught in Rhode Island in the United States by photos he posted online and brought to trial.

Joshua Lipton, a 20-year-old man who lives in the state of Rhode Island in the United States, drove under the influence of alcohol and ran over a woman. The woman was seriously injured and hospitalized. The young man entered court proceedings, but was not in custody. A few weeks later, the young man went to a party with friends on Halloween disguised as a prisoner. The young man with the ironic joke did not think about the future results.

Almost every child nowadays carries a camera with him to document moments in life and also just for fun. One of Joshua's friends took photos at the party completely spontaneously and published the photos on the social network Facebook. The site is used as a popular means of communication among teenagers and among a few adults. The photographer friend decided that he publishes the photos from the party on his Facebook page, when in fact all his friends on the network will be able to see the photos from the party.

The prosecutors in the young man's trial did their job properly, found the above-mentioned photos, and decided to use them as evidence that the boy is completely irresponsible and without conscience. The legal prosecutor presented the photos in court while explaining that the boy is a completely emotionless and conscientious person, capable of Going out to hang out after an injury as he did, while the victim, the victim of the accident, is lying injured in the hospital trying to recover and restore her life.

The judge in court accepted the testimony, and Lipton was sent to prison for two years. Social networks like Facebook and more are, as I mentioned, an excellent means of communication. There is no doubt that they also have many negative features, and you should always remember that the net is not a secure place and unfortunately there are many who use the net for bad purposes.

Many detectives and police agents today use these networks to solve crimes and mysteries by searching for information about a person. Even in the field of daily work, many employers will search social networks of one kind or another for information about an employee, in order to learn about their employees and find out things that they would not be able to find out on a daily basis, thus in many cases even deciding whether he is suitable for the job or not. Photos as published, are without a doubt unequivocal evidence for Judge Lipton that he could not escape from. This is a classic example of how much the web can surprise us. Obviously Lipton didn't want them to know about the aforementioned party at all, but in today's computerized world, where half of our lives are run according to his will, there are things that are a little difficult to prevent.

This case is not the only case in which pictures published on the Internet were used in order to reach a conviction in court. In other cases, the guilty were caught even after receiving the punishment when they break their promise and their punishment. So no doubt…
Someone is always following us. This entire article is another point for thought, the Internet is a daily friend that in many cases we cannot live without, think carefully before you volunteer personal details to the network.
