How Social Media Can Hurt Your Case
If you’re facing charges, your online activity can hurt you more than you realize. Here’s what NOT to do:
Don’t Post 🚫 – Anything you say online can and will be used against you.
Don’t Delete Without Advice 🗑️ – Deleting posts can look like destroying evidence.
Don’t Get Tagged 📸 – Ask friends/family not to post or tag you.
Don’t Overshare 💬 – Comments, captions, even “jokes” can be twisted in court.
Don’t Ignore Privacy 🔒 – Lock down accounts, but remember nothing online is ever truly private.
👉 Best move: Stay silent on social media until your case is resolved. Talk to attorney Whitney Raque before making any moves.
