 Australian Police Serving Intervention order via facebook

Victoria Police have successfully served an intervention order against an accused cyber stalker by using the social networking website Facebook.
Police, who have called it an Australian first, were called in after an individual was threatened, bullied and harassed by a man using the site.
They tried to find the man by traditional methods, including standing outside his last known address and trying to contact him by phone.
But when all attempts failed, they investigated the Facebook option.
Strict conditions were placed on the use of the social media site as a substitute for serving the papers.
All of the papers were transcribed and typed into private messages sent to the person's Facebook account.
Police even recorded a video of Leading Senior Constable Stuart Walton reading and serving the intervention order.
Leading Senior Constable Walton eventually succeeded in making contact with the man, who said he understood the order and agreed to delete his Facebook account.
