I’ve highlighted a number of examples here before of how the world of any allows anyone to catch a perp. The police might not have the resources to identify and find the person who assaulted you, but you can do some facebooking of your own; go out on facebook, find the person, check his or her status, and send the police right there to book the perp. And, as I’ve shown you here, a number of people have successfully done so, for example, in the US, UK, and Germany.

The same thing was recently about to happen in Sweden. A young man was assaulted and had his jaw crushed. The police were not able to book the perp. But via a friend who witnessed the assault, the young man got a clue to the perp’s identity and was ready to do some perp facebooking. He found the perp on facebook, checked his status, sent the police there, id:d him in a photo confrontation.

But the perp was acquitted in court. Why? The court decided that the victim was prejudiced – he had already checked the perp out on facebook.

Does this mean Swedish perps will never more be sentenced in the world of any – no longer able to stay in the dark, as anyone can learn their identities, they can bask in the sunlight instead and blame and fingerpointing toward them on “just being a really attractive guy on facebook”?
