Social media disrupts investigations, courtroom decisions
SUMMARY: Amory Police Chief Ronnie Bowen has spoken out about the negative effects of social media on investigations and the justice system. He believes that social media encourages rumors, false information, and conspiracy theories that do not help the victims or their families. Bowen also explains that the increase in visibility of crimes is due to social media, not an actual increase in crime rates. He emphasizes that the police department cannot disclose all information about a case for transparency reasons and that an unbiased jury is crucial for a fair trial. Finally, Bowen states that his department never lets a case go cold and is dedicated to bringing perpetrators to justice.
