Rumor is that the faculty at our school is creating fake facebook profiles to keep up on students' doing outside of school, party scene etc.

Here are some of the profiles for reference:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003148684025
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003050320512

Obvious fakes: profile pictures come up on reverse image searches:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/56761896@N06/5242613184/

Likes and interests are extremely generic, place of residency? L.A.? typical.

Oh yeah, and these profiles only attempt to add kids from our school...
The hard part is proving that these profiles were actually created by staff. This is mostly hear-say at this point, but multiple students have claimed to get some of the more lenient teachers to admit to the doings of our administration. Students have been punished for what they made available after these accounts were created, and it's hard to feel bad for them. Making illegal activity such as underage drinking public could only be the work of an uneducated high school student (off topic).

I'm personally outraged, and I know that anything put on facebook should ever be considered private, but really?

If a student did approach administration, what laws would arise? are there any pertaining to creation of fake identities online, specifically to gather "private" information? Should administration even be approached?

discuss.

Quit acting like you know things before someone believes you.

have you by any chance currently or in the near past been concussed by some sort of large object, to the point where it would affect brain activity?

trying to bait kids into doing something that would get them into trouble? If you don't see that (which you clearly don't) then I wonder why I'm wasting my time talking to you.

Creating an alias in an attempt to friend people and gain access to photo evidence of "crimes" they have committed on their own will ≠ luring people into committing "crimes."

Hence, I don't see how this is entrapment. Just school officials being dick holes with too much time on their hands. And if you aren't the kind of kid who posts those stupid pictures, I fail to see how this is a problem.

You obviously don't understand what entrapment is.

um how about you as the OP dont post anything incriminating on Facebook and if you get posted just tell them to take it the fuck down or untag yourself. Its really not that hard. i usually dont even swear on facebook. you never know when the internet will come back and bite you in the ass.
