Allegations of Police Corruption at Benedictine University

Jehanne wrote:Threats made over and via the Internet are difficult to investigate, unless the person making the threats is a fool. One could always use Tor or some anonymous proxy, spoof your MAC address, connect to an unsecured Wi-fi, use encryption, secure deletion, etc. Too much work, usually, to investigate, too much, usually, to prosecute.

Jehanne wrote:The may be true, but perhaps the police feel (as do I) that it is somewhat unjust to prosecute someone for a crime which they freely admitted to when they, in the absence of such a confession, could have "gotten away with it." Nearly all email threats, Facebook threats, etc., are not ever prosecuted, most are not even investigated, because, as with most such cases, the individual in question can "defend himself/herself"; in this case, by simply by going into Facebook and changing his account options to "friends only," which will prevent strangers from posting to his Wall.
