The good neighbor?

Facebook will soon be moving to MP.
An interesting factoid is that Facebook has a phone extension for law enforcement agencies and personnel who need to work with the company regarding criminal and alleged criminal matters involving Facebook and Facebook use.
However the recording tells law enforcement that due to call volume they will receive a call back within two to four business days.
Next time you get stopped for a traffic violation try telling the MPPD that your busy and you'll get back to them in a couple days.

One of my favorite movie scenes is near the opening of "Michael Clayton." It's the middle of the night and George Clooney (an attorney) has just been called to the home of one of his firm's richest clients. The client is in the kitchen and explains that he just hit a bicycle rider and fled the scene. After Clooney explains that the only option is to get a criminal lawyer and call the police as soon as possible, the phone rings.

The client points to the phone and says "that's the police, isn't it?"

Clooney says, "No. They don't call."

If the police really want to speak with someone at Facebook about a crime, I assure you they won't use the telephone.
