Flutterby™! : DEA and identity theft

DEA agent takes data on seized cell phone to set up phony Facebook account:

In a court filing, a U.S. attorney acknowledges that, unbeknownst to Arquiett, Sinnigen created the fake Facebook account, posed as her, posted photos, sent a friend request to a fugitive, accepted other friend requests, and used the account “for a legitimate law enforcement purpose.”

That filing says:

In response to Paragraph 11 of the Complaint, Defendants admit that Plaintiff did not give express permission for the creation of the Facebook page, but state the Plaintiff implicitly consented by granting access to the information stored in her cell phone and by consenting to the use of that information to aid in an ongoing criminal investigations.

Sooooo... when you consent to a search (which you should never ever ever ever do), the DEA is saying that you've then consented to being impersonated
