Social Media in Your Case
Often clients ask us if their social media posts can be used against them in court. The answer is definitely yes. Our Berkeley County lawyers advise clients to think twice before posting anything while being investigated or during litigation.
The police can seize your cell phone and obtain a warrant to search that phone. Anything you post or have on your phone can and often will be used against you. When you post something on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., you are making that information public, and the prosecution can use your posts or pics in your case. That is why our legal team recommends thinking about the ramifications of posting anything about your case on social media. The risks far outweigh the benefit of a couple of likes.
