Twitter & Crime

Who knew a social-networking site like Twitter could be so valuable to law enforcement?

Last Friday, teen singing sensation Justin Bieber was to make an appearance at Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City. The event was canceled when too many fans showed up, resulting in chaos.

The president of Bieber's record label, James Roppo, was arrested for refusing to tweet about the cancellation, after police requested him to help them by letting people know the appearance was canceled.

Bieber himself, however, did tweet to fans the cancellation.
