NYPD gets green light to go undercover on Facebook

The New York Police Department is fine with cops assuming fake names to patrol Facebook and Twitter, but the public feels differently.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly just issued a memo that allows officers involved in probes to register aliases online, according to the New York Daily News . The restriction is that police must only use those aliases while using department-issued laptops with wireless access cards that can’t be tracked back to the NYPD.
