On Sunday, when addressing the media on the Sandy Hook massacre, Lt. Paul Vance of the Connecticut State Police warned that anyone posting "misinformation" on the case was committing a crime, and would be investigated "statewide and federally, and prosecution will take place." While it's easy to understand his anger and frustration, any legal action against Internet trolls is unlikely to hold up under the U.S. Constitution, experts say.

Didn't read the link but the police could be referring to malicious postings that are meant to mislead and waste police time.

yes, use every available tools, but don't be a fool and fall for every thing you read on the internet.

LEO has to checkout out every piece; only in 20/20 hindsight is it known that the info is worthless.

How can a post in P&N be a personal attack if referencing OT()🙂
Now if one was paranoid or guilty; they might take affront by making a leap of faith. 😎

hear hear. hopefully JediYoda will read this and finally get the point!
 
How is this different from what politicians do? They spread misinformation all the time. Our liar in chief should be investigated.
 
Just like yelling fire in a crowded theater is not considered free speech, nor is making up information about leads in a case or falsifying evidence. Fake facebook or twitter posts could be considered evidence or false evidence.

THIS. I cant think of one major news agency that didnt report incorrect information on this. Its kind of the nature of the beast but sheesh. Chill out Lt. Vance.

This. Would be fun to see retard attentionwhores getting some FPMITA experience.
 
i doubt they can do this, someone needs to tell those nazis we have free speech in this country. when a tv station talks about the identity of the shooter or a second shooter thats legit news
 
Actually the cop might be right. Under the Patriot Act aren't things that can be considered to spread fear or apprehension or to interfere with pretty much any type of normal functions fall under the act as terrorism?
