May 28, 2021 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment “Social media is kind of the downfall of a lot of things right now,” Gabe Fuentes, a Flagler County Sheriff’s detective, said during an interview with an individual–later exonerated–in a 2019 criminal case that ended in an acquittal today.(Maurizio Pesce) A 14-year-old Flagler Palm Coast High School student, a boy, was arrested and faces a second-degree felony charge of written threats to kill after allegedly threatening to shoot a fellow-student after she’d contacted him and argued with him by Snapchat on Wednesday. School officials became aware of the threat. The school’s threat assessment team met. Such teams are established in every school and serve in part as a means of gauging the sort of threats or security issues that come to light, often resolving the issues internally or administratively, through the school’s own investigations and disciplinary measures. On occasions, the team judges the matter as warranting law enforcement’s intervention, as it did in this case. According to the information the dean passed on to a Flagler County Sheriff’s school resource deputy, the 14-year-iold girl had messaged the boy around noon Wednesday, asking him if he intended to fight another student at…

When STEM School senior Devon Erickson brought several loaded guns to school on May 7, 2019, he had multiple opportunities to alert teachers or change his mind before the attack that killed and injured his fellow students, prosecutor George Brauchler told jurors on Thursday as the Erikson’s trial opened. Though Snapchat videos show that Erickson was pressured by his friend, Alec McKinney, to break open his parents’ gun safe and was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine at the time, he had several interactions with other students, teachers and a nurse right before he went into the classroom, Brauchler said. “In this room is terror, in this room is every parent, every teacher’s worst nightmare. In this room are bullets, students’ blood and the body of a hero,” Brauchler said. “This plan was as diabolical as it was deadly.” Both prosecutors and Erickson’s defense lawyers made their opening arguments Thursday in the case against Erickson, now 20. Erickson faces 46 criminal charges in connection with the shooting, which killed fellow student Kendrick Castillo, and injured eight others. Brauchler accused Erickson of firing his gun four times before it jammed and he was taken down by several other students who,…

The NAACP Boulder County chapter, along with other organizations, is calling on the St. Vrain Valley School District to make sweeping changes after a Snapchat photo surfaced of three Mead High School students reenacting the murder of George Floyd. “After George Floyd was murdered, everyone said, ‘If this doesn't wake us up, what will?’” said Alicia Graves, who wrote the letter and is the NAACP Boulder County’s Education Committee chairperson. “They chose not to do any kind of equity-based training the year after George Floyd was murdered. And then the year ends with students reenacting the murder of George Floyd.”  While she doesn’t think that the lack of training is what caused the student reenactment, she is calling for the district to take proactive steps to address systemic racism, rather than address the individual incident and then move on.  The letter was read by Superintendent Don Haddad during public comment at a school board meeting on Wednesday. Graves was unable to attend.  Over the last year, Graves and Haddad have worked together to make changes in the school district. In the letter, Graves praised Haddad’s condemnation of the incident. The school has made a commitment to equity and inclusion, including…

Social media is nearly essential to everyday life, so Local 5 is verifying whether social media companies can hold onto users' data and messages indefinitely. DES MOINES, Iowa — In criminal trials, we're used to seeing attorneys introduce physical evidence like a murder weapon or a fingerprint, but did you know a tweet or a saved Snapchat message can also be used in a court of law?  During the murder trial of Cristhian Bahena Rivera, text messages and Snapchat messages have been introduced as evidence. Social media is nearly essential now to everyday life and how these apps are used can have long-term consequences, so Local 5 is verifying whether social media companies can hold onto users' data and messages indefinitely. Local 5's sources are the privacy and data security webpages of Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. This is a complicated question, but the short answer is yes. According to Facebook's privacy page, the company "stores data until it is no longer necessary to provide services and Facebook Products, or until account is deleted - whichever comes first." Facebook may hold onto a user's data longer if that user is involved in a police or government investigation or…

And the ghost app has a new tool with which to rival each and every one of the video apps: a video editor called Story Studio. It seems that it is the tool that was…

Court records indicate a Santa Clarita Valley man who worked as a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy is accused of using a Snapchat alias to download multiple pornographic images of children, which ultimately led to his dismissal and criminal charges, according to a court transcript released Tuesday to The Signal.   In his May 7 testimony, Sgt. Roger Ballesteros of the LASD Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau said a detective with the LASD Special Victims Bureau shared a cyber tip Jan. 31, 2020, regarding a sworn deputy and underage pornography being published to the deputy’s personal Snapchat account.   The former deputy’s defense counsel has challenged the merit of Ballesteros’ suspicion of his client on the grounds that the investigator didn’t interview any Snapchat employee about their company policies and procedures, a medical doctor had not confirmed the age of the children in the photos allegedly downloaded and, outside of the original web alert sent to law enforcement, none of the images existed on Scott Rodriguez’s social media account when deputies began to collect evidence last spring.   Encrypted Wi-Fi signal  Before officially handing the case over to Ballesteros and the Internal Criminal Investigations Bureau, Special Victims Unit detectives reportedly conducted a warrant search on the location, finding that the IP address associated with the image downloads was run through an encrypted Wi-Fi signal, where Rodriguez, a K9 handler…
