• Remember that text messages and messages on the Internet are not necessarily private and may be used against you, even if you delete them later
• Know that creating a new social media profile or e-mail account does not necessarily mean you can’t be caught
• Particularly avoid directing abusive language at police officers
• Never discourage someone from calling the police, even if you think it is excessive or unnecessary
