As detailed in the letter from Andrea Kirkpatrick, Facebook's chief security officer and general counsel, MPD was told to stop creating accounts on Facebook, as this is an explicit violation of the terms services and policies of the social network.

"Facebook has made it clear that law enforcement is also subject to these policies," Kirkpatrick said. "We consider this activity as a violation of Facebook terms and policies and therefore we have disabled the fake accounts we found in our investigation."

Fox13 got a response from MPD saying the faker s under the name Bob Smith was deleted before the Facebook letter was sent to the police.
