Youtube: Law Enforcements New Best Friend

Who needs to go looking for evidence these days when you can just find it on YouTube?

Today, many youth boast about crimes they have committed via YouTube. Hopefully they will think twice after this story:

Four teen boys from Scottsdale, Arizona posted a video of their gang vandalizing property with the title boasting, ""Hey, this is basicly (sic) just a video of us breaking stuff." The video displayed these boys smashing their skate boards into vending machines and looting all of the candy out of them.Another shot showed one of these hooligans smashing into a front windshield of a car and finishing it off with his foot.

About a month after the video was posted on YouTube; the children were detained by local authorities who identified their faces from the video. Now they are facing charges in Maricopa County Juvenile Court for robbery and criminal damage.



So who's laughing now boys?
