UK: Social networking sites us
Let's be honest, we all know Facebook is an online popularity contest. The more friends, the bigger the fan base.
However, police officers should think twice before accepting a friend request because criminals are scouring social networking websites on the lookout for corruptible cops.
Mike Cunningham, the Association of Chief Police Officers lead on counter- corruption and Deputy Chief Constable of Lancashire Constabulary, warns that forces need more guidance on officers using sites such as Facebook and Bebo, to protect them from villains.

WA police lock down stations
Police have upped the ante in their pay dispute with the West Australian government, locking stations, turning off the lights and promising to respond only to emergencies.
The police union has been at loggerheads with Alan Carpenter's government for months over a claim, by officers, for a 20 per cent rise over two years.
Police began working to rule in July and last month 2,000 officers rallied outside parliament house in Perth in support of the claim.
Union president Mike Dean said a new phase of industrial action had begun with stations closed for two hours, between 5pm and 7pm WST.
The state's 500 police have been told, by the union, to close the doors and turn off the lights and remain in their stations - unless required for an emergency incident, Mr Dean said.
They have been told not to patrol, not to make arrests, except in emergencies, and not to do administrative work.
Mr Dean said the union had no choice but to order this industrial action because the Carpenter government had restated its "meagre" offer of 4.5 per cent, four per cent and another four per cent over three years.
"While Mr Carpenter has accepted a $13,000 annual increase in his salary package, he has offered constables on the base rate just 99 cents an hour extra," Mr Dean said.
"This insulting offer is to workers who face a one-in-four chance each year of being assaulted in the course of their work."
