[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have the police arrested anyone for vandalism? Id like to know how many will be prosecuted for breaking windows, smash and grab etc. Has the Mayor spoken to this? [/quote]

There was a story on the news yesterday, before the curfew, that said that police were going to do the entire investigation based on social media, public videos and private security cameras. The parson being interviewed claimed that this was an often used DC investigative tactic. They made a claim that the practice had started during inauguration marches and other protests downtown. Police identify suspects on video and use social media as Collaboratory evidence and write our an entire charge and then deliver the warrant to your local PD or in the case of DC to your local District to effect the arrest.

It seems VERY organized for MPD who only has a tiny number of detectives and they don't really investigate anything. They predominately file reports and turn crime over to insurance companies. I'd love to know what unit in MPD is combing social media. For some reason I have no trouble believing MoCoPD when they show their social media analysis, but I have a harder time imagining the same unit within MPD.[/quote]
