Related: About this forumDumb Florida Criminals: Woman tweets looking for weed, deputies respond
When a Florida woman took to Twitter on Tuesday to request that someone bring her some weed, deputies responded.
Twitter user @Rosa_Sparkz, who describes herself as a twenty-something from Jupiter, FL, took to the social media site around 1:30 p.m. and tweeted "Somebody bring me weed. I'll pay for it."
Within an hour, The Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office sent this reply via its own Twitter account: "Where should we meet you?"
@Rosa_Sparkz, who lists her name as Goddess, even wrote back, stating @PBCountySheriff follow back so I can DM you the location.

Hope that a cop just looking at Twitter, but if cops are monitoring social networks for "key" words, that is another matter. Regardless, it was dumb.

Peoples' tax dollars being used to pay for busting pot smokers on twitter.
