You want to know one of the easiest ways to get yourself in trouble these days and possibly arrested?

Post something on social media that you know, deep down, you shouldn’t be posting.

What’s illegal to post on social media?

Snapchat posts, which have both multimedia photo and messaging capabilities, have taken down individuals in all types of positions: teachers, law enforcement officers, CEOs, you name it.

We’ve seen many people lose jobs over their questionable posts, but did you know that you can also get arrested over social media posts?

Here are a few of the social media offenses you can get arrested for:

  • Sexting (especially if it involves a minor)
  • Invasion of privacy
  • Threats
  • Video or photographic evidence

You’ll need to contact a criminal defense attorney if you’re charged with illegal Snapchat activity.
