The latest example comes from the UK.

As the Evening Standard reports, police found a stash of cannabis near the Grand Union canal in Camden, London, on Wednesday.

Immediately, they took to Twitter not only to display their find, but also to show off a note they'd left behind in the hole they'd sniffed out.

Sgt. Paul Taylor posted the note that was addressed to the stash-owners.

On Metropolitan Police Service notepaper, it read: "Unlucky."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman told me: "We encourage our officers to have a friendly interaction with their followers about their policing activities."

This isn't the first police force that's used social media to laugh at alleged criminals.

In Australia, police had a good laugh posting a stoner's eccentric to-do list. Also in Australia, police took to Facebook to charge Nickelback with crimes against music.

Just as any organization, the police clearly feel the need to use entertainment in order to endear themselves to the public.

Social media creates a medium on which to be loved. In this case it must have given the police, at least for a few minutes, something of a high.
