Lawyers Warn: Tweets May Be Used Against You

Defence barrister Mark McDonald said that messages written online are being used increasingly by the Crown Prosecution Service and police. His comments come after an American teenager had a manslaughter charge upgraded to murder, partly because he had boasted about speeding on Twitter, according to prosecutors. McDonald told Metro: "There can be naivety, in that people believe they can say things on social media and it won't be used against them.”
