California police investigate claims that an officer threatened Anonymous over Twitter

An investigation is under way in Richmond, California, after a member of the local police department was alleged to have sent a Twitter message threatening violence against members of the Anonymous hacking group.
The Richmond Police Department chose to disable and delete comments from its Facebook Page after being inundated with complaints from followers of Anonymous Twitter accounts alleging that an officer had sent the message.
Richmond police Captain Mark Gagan told Mercury News that an investigation will be launched and “if there were policy violations, we will deal with it appropriately”. However, Gagan refused to confirm the identity of the officer at the centre of the incident.
Events kicked off following a tweet sent Mike Rood, an alleged Richmond PD officer, to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) supremo Dana White concerning the Anonymous group. Rood, who later deleted his Twitter account and the offending tweet, said he would go after the Anonymous hackers “with both guns” in response to their recent actions, as a screenshot from founditonline shows:
Soon after the tweet was sent, it was highlighted by @youranonnews which prompted Anonymous hacker @cabincr3w to dig out and circulate a number of Rood’s details, including his email address, badge number, phone number and apparent police station. Confirmation of Rood’s station prompted a number of Anonymous accounts to encourage followers to leave complaints about the officer on its Facebook Page, as it was alleged that his tweet breached US Penal Code 422 which outlaws threatening behaviour.
After around two hours of messages, the Richmond PD Facebook Page was modified to prevent non-admins posting to the wall, thus preventing further complaints and removing hundreds of the complaints that had been made there. In response to the switch, Anonymous followers were encouraged to contact the station directly via fax or to email its chief. A link to local newspaper Costa Times’s Facebook Page was also circulated and it received a number of complaints around the issue.
Last week Anonymous went after UFC chief Dana White after he labelled the collective “terrorists” and called the Internet “a place where cowards live”. In response, personal data belonging to White was published online and the UFC website was briefly hacked again, for the second time in a week.

This is what happens when you joke about “destroying America” on Twitter

It is widely known that law enforcement agencies are turning to social networks to monitor citizens but one UK Twitter user saw a joke tweet land him in hot water, as he was detained by Homeland Security in Los Angeles, interrogated and barred from the US, The Sun reveals.

Before Leigh Van Bryan and his friend Emily Bunting embarked on a holiday to Los Angeles, Van Bryan tweeted that he was going to “destroy America,” boasting that he would try “digging up Marilyn Monroe” during his trip across the pond.

If someone tweets they would “destroy America,” you would expect it to alert law-enforcement agencies. However, in the UK, “destroying” can also be used as a term for partying or having a good time.

When Van Bryan and Bunting arrived in the US, they were immediately detained by officials at Los Angeles International Airport, held by armed guards and questioned for over five hours before they were “handcuffed, put in a van with illegal immigrants and locked up overnight.”

Twelve hours later, after being held in separate cells (Van Bryan shared his cell with Mexican drug dealers), the pair were released and put on a plane home.

Bryan told The Sun:

“The Homeland Security agents were treating me like some kind of terrorist. I kept saying they had got the wrong meaning from my tweet but they just told me ‘You’ve really f***ed up with that tweet, boy’.”

Taking the tweets literally, the second of which was a quote from Family Guy, Homeland Security officials searched the duo’s cases for spades, just in case they had packed them to dig up Monroe’s grave.

Twitter users have increasingly been forced to accept the consequences of their tweets, with one high-profile case in the UK reaching newspaper frontpages. In 2010, Paul Chambers, captured his frustration in a tweet after he learned that bad weather may halt his plan to fly.

He tweeted:

“Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You’ve got a week to get your shit together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high!!”

Someone took this “threat” seriously enough to inform the police and Chambers soon found himself arrested on terrorism charges, then charged. Finally at his trial he was found guilty of “Sending by a public communications network a message that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character” and fined £1000. Since then he’s lost his job twice as a result of the case.

Chambers appealed the case but the judge upheld the original decision, meaning Chambers’ fine and criminal record remained in place. Following this, floods of Twitter users showed their support with #twitterjoketrial tweets, including Stephen Fry who offered to pay the fine.

Van Bryan has since switched his profile to private, perhaps learning of what can happen when you threaten to do funny things inside a tweet that can be seen by Twitter’s 200 million+ users (and law enforcement agencies).
