Don't drink and post on Facebook/MySpace

Prosecutors have discovered the joys of social networking sites, but if you're a criminal, don't think that it's a good thing. Some individuals who were charged with DWI (or DUI, depending on your state) have found that photos posted of them at parties while drinking are coming back to bite them in the rear end at sentencing hearings: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080719/ap_on_hi_te/tec_facebook_evidence.

Let me ask this question: If you're charged with an alcohol-related crime, and you have a social networking page, WHY would you be stupid enough not to either take down the page or at least delete those photos which show you drinking?

If they were smart would they have gotten the DUI in the first place?
