    Oh my job? I scroll TikTok all day looking for morons posting crimes they do online and tagging them to be forwarded to local police departments.

    I have no doubt that some police departments actually do this. You can gather a lot of intelligence from public posts by people that aren’t very intelligent.

    I’ve seen policy bodycam videos on YouTube where the police knew where to find a criminal with a warrant because they were on TikTok or a similar site, bragging about some crime they committed, and tagged the location.
