Another reason to avoid social networking like the plague.

Don't drink and drive and then post on Facebook. While perusing the topic 'the dangers of facebook' on yahoo mail I came across a story about a 20 year old who had seriously injured a woman while driving under the influence. While awaiting trial the young man dressed as a prisoner and went to a Halloween party. He later posted the pictures on his Facebook. The photos were later used to get him two years in prison using the argument that he was 'unrepentant'.

So be careful and use good judgement about what you post on Facebook or Myspace. What you post can and will be held against you.

Of course you could use even better judgement and not drink and drive, or at the very least go as something else for Halloween.
