Sadly, we all know what "twerking" is.





We have Miley Cyrus to thank for this...





Some folks like it...





Some not so much...





But apparently none like it LESS than New South Wales, Australia Police Senior Constable Daniel Moss who took it upon himself to "investigate" a Facebook user known as "Rhys Brown" who had posted what purported to be a series of digitally altered photographs of Miley Cyrus twerking in front of a NSW police officer in Sydney (one of the pictures appears below).   After four (4) months (yes... four (4) months) of monitoring the private Facebook page by posing as another user Moss was able to identify a man named Rhys Liam Halvey as the account holder who was known as "Rhys Brown".  Moss identified "several offensive posts", including one with an image that said: "Here's my $25,000 for your $101 fine", with photos of NSW police officers which were taken on a Sydney street.  Moss located and charged Rhys Liam Halvey with three (3) counts of "using a carriage service to offend police" and three (3) counts of "publishing an indecent article".





Mr Halvey denied any involvement with either being Rhys Brown or uploading the "derogatory posts" on social media and all six (6) charges were withdrawn and dismissed after Sydney Magistrate Roger Brown slammed Constable Moss' "investigation" as a "criminal offense by committing an unauthorized access" into a private Facebook account without a warrant.  During a hearing the following exchange reportedly occurred between Magistrate Brown and Constable Moss: 

Magistrate:  "You use the term 'monitored' the Facebook account of Rhys Brown ... you went into that account frequently?"

Constable:  "Yes, I did."

Magistrate:  "So, you didn't obtain a Supreme Court warrant ... you didn't obtain any judicial authorization to invade the privacy of Rhys Brown's Facebook, did you?"

Constable:  "No."

Thus, the case was dismissed and $14,429.00 in costs were reportedly ordered to be paid by the police.

Memo to New South Wales, Australia Police Senior Constable Daniel Moss:

Memo to the Folks:  Law enforcement is all over the internet.  They monitor it, they troll through it, they conduct sting operations (by offering fake "services" or by pretending to be whom or whatever you may be looking for or craving) and, apparently, they also occasionally invade your privacy on their personal off-time.  Be mindful of the internet.  It is a virtual minefield which can cause real world damage. That said... 

Social Media:  It's all fun and nice until it's introduced into evidence against you in Court. See "Haber's Rules of Social Media # 1 - 5" by clicking here...

Police determined that Eve died from the Fentanyl  overdose at about 5:00 am on Saturday, October 17, 20-15 while all three (3) adults were inside of the motel room. Rood was charged with child endangerment and reckless conduct for allowing Ross dose here daughter, Ross, who now faces life in prison, was charged with dispensing a controlled drug resulting in death and tampering with witnesses (Ross allegedly disposed of needles and other paraphernalia after finding Eve dead and called 911 some 90 minutes later) and Aberle was also charged with dispensing a controlled drug resulting in death and tampering with witnesses and informants. 





Eve's obituary described the high school senior, who worked part time at an iHop restaurant, as "a bright, beautiful, loving and caring young lady, and a touching tribute to the teenager on her GoFundMe page (which has thus far raised $1,735.00) states:  "We believe it is important to come together as a community and remember Eve for who she was - and how this tragedy can inspire us to find a solution to this issue in Eve's memory and everyone else struggling or who have lost the fight to addiction."  To donate to Eve's GoFundMe page you can click here.
