Texas State University Police say they are logging in to your favorite social networks to catch crimes on campus. Alex Hering has more on the story
There wasn't much evidence left to gather once Sergeant Bran Carpenter arrived at the fire-damaged Lyndon  Johnson statue in 2008.

Carpenter says YOU-Tube has been helpful in tracking down graffiti and tagger footage. But some students are wary of the police techniques -- fearing that it may be an invasion of privacy

U-P-D says tracking video evidence online makes sense because it's already publicly available and easy to find.
