Police Arrest Man For Refusing To Tweet

RichZellich writes "Police arrested a senior vice president from Island Def Jam Records, saying he hindered their crowd-control efforts by not cooperating. The crowd at a mall where Justin Bieber was appearing got out of control, and police wanted the man to send a tweet asking for calm; he refused and they arrested him on a felony assault charge 'for putting people in danger.'"

How would that work

How would they had read the tweet? Or are everyone actually having twitter "on" all the time in mobile phone?

This is almost like a new pizza place would open in the town square and people would be lining to try it out. As a special opening gift, one random guy would be chosen to decide what toppings go to the largest pizza ever done. Of course everyone would want to chose their favourite ones, crowd would go wild and police would have to be called in and arrest everyone. So now theres tons of pizzas done but everyone is jail. what does the owner do? He enjoys the worlds largest pizza himself.

I hope the world doesn't turn in to even more "you're always online" place. I usually even leave my phone home when I'm going spending good time somewhere. I don't need to be reachable all the time.

I believe it was the "n/t" that merited the Troll mod. I know I was incensed.
