Scotland Yard Police Taking Anonymous Facebook Tips
Scotland police are allowing Facebook users to report anonymous tips of criminal activity.
Following the London looting and riots last week, Scotland Yard police launched a new initiative today called “Made From Crime” that allows users to report criminal activity anonymously on Facebook.
This follows the New York Police Department’s move last week to create a Facebook crime watch unit.
Scotland Yard’s Facebook initiative is the first scheme of its kind in the country and is backed by the government.
It makes full use of the country’s Proceeds of Crime Act, which allows officers to seize assets that have been purchased through criminal activity.
