Bristol Tennessee Cops Get First Hit On YouTube Video

The Bristol Tennessee Police Department posted a video showing some of their most-wanted suspects with the video-sharing Web site YouTube on Wednesday.

I think that this is a great way to help police find criminals.

On Friday, police officers were able to apprehend Noah Jay Carrier, 25, after receiving several anonymous tips on his whereabouts from people who saw the video.

According to reports, YouTube accounted for one-third of the 9.8 billion videos viewed online in the U.S. during January meaning that the police can gain such large coverage within the U.S via YouTube.

Do you agree that this method of finding criminals is constructive?

    although this method can be beneficial as it is easy and accessable, it may not necessarily be a reliable resource as youtube have many videos including impersonated or doctored ones which may be the case for this video as well.
