The Wire

A 17 year old girl and her mother have been arrested by police in Nebraska, who allege that the teen had an abortion using pregnancy termination pill ‘Pregnot’.

As a result of these events, we look into the level to which police can access social media and other potentially private information when investigating these sorts of matters.
