    Hey GC, I have a question for those who are good with the law.

    My friends and I had a facebook group set up to just chat and keep in touch, but it got out of hand. A few people just started using it for other things...


    My question is quite simple: Can I be incriminated for something a friend had posted in a secret facebook group? Even after I left the group?

    Stuff started to get posted that I didn't want to be a part of. Would I be guilty due to association? Or does that not apply to a computer since I literally have no idea what they will post or say from THIER computer.

    Thanks.

  3. #3 Gimme Half, Aug 4, 2012
    Marijuana, and paraphernalia

    You're fine. Guilty by association would be going with your friends while they sell drugs. Its just a way to bust everyone even if one person takes the fall.

    You're fine, first of all I doubt cops would get involved over some kids posting pictures of weed and paraphernalia on FB in a private group. Secondly, as long as you yourself are not doing so, you can comment on it all you want and you'd be fine.

    Lol what part of facebook is secret? Nothing on facebook is a secret.

    Lol I post that stuff on fb all the time, only for friends to view though. I know if police wanted to they could see what I had on my fb but whatever.
    It really depends.
    If you just have a picture of a bowl and little weed nobody cares.... But if he's exploiting a grow op or copious amounts of drugs, and the police see it, they will be on their case and maybe even yours of your name is seen on the page's history or it's mentioned by somebody else. But you won't get in trouble. Questioned? Slim chance. But you did nothing illegal, and neither did they by posting pictures.

    Be careful. When I was on probation my P.O. Called me into his office and drug tested me because I posted on Facebook about a party. My page is set to "private." my point is, you never know who is looking at Facebook dude. Be careful.

    You can't get expelled for saying you want to smoke....
    First of all, when somebody says they want to smoke they usually mean cigarettes. Cigarettes are legal.
    Second of all, your first amendment.
    Assuming you're in the US.

    Everyone knows the cia controls facebook :p Doesn't matter what privacy setting you have it on, LEAs get access to all of it. You're deluding yourself if you think otherwise.
