Can you go to jail for Snapchat?

Threats. It's also illegal to make threats, especially violent ones, in any form — including Snapchat. Take the case of two teens in Modesto, CA who were arrested and booked on three felony charges for sending a threatening Snapchat to an African-American classmate.

To answer this question:

How?

The popular multimedia photo and messaging app launched in 2011 can expose you to legal troubles in several ways.

In particular, the behaviors that should be avoided are listed below.

Sexting

While sexting —sending sexual images — isn’t illegal in itself, it is illegal if it involves minors (which in Texas are those under 18 years old). Even if a minor consents and takes the photos or videos, distributing such selfies can be a crime.

Invasion of privacy

This legal trap of Snapchat could involve someone who isn’t in a public place having their image recorded and distributed via Snapchat. If the image is objectionable, that can be deemed an illegal invasion of their reasonable expectation of privacy.

Threats

Take the case of two teens in Modesto, CA who were arrested and booked on three felony charges for sending a threatening Snapchat to an African-American classmate. The post showed a noose, a gun being fired at the viewer, and a threat that the viewer “must die.” Based on this Snapchat post, the teens were charged with committing a hate crime, making terrorist threats and criminal conspiracy. Punishment can be seven to 12 years in prison.

Video or photographic evidence

Another Snapchat pitfall is when the images sent convey a crime. Those images become an incriminating record of the crime and can be used as evidence against you. Of course, a key feature of Snapchat is that the photos or videos shared through the app are meant to disappear as soon as they’re viewed. Users can designate that the images display for one to 10 seconds, then end without being revisited. However, that’s only true if the post has been viewed by all persons to whom it was sent. If you shared images with many people, anyone who hasn’t seen them yet, in effect, keeps the images alive via Snapchat. That’s true for 30 days, after which the image is removed.

Not necessarily.

While Snapchat officials say the images are deleted from their server, mobile forensics experts believe they still can retrieve them from the user’s device, such as an iPhone. However, police would need a search warrant to seek such images. Also, keep in mind that another device could make a visual record of Snapchat images while they display, and such a record would not disappear. A cell phone video could be aimed at Snapchat images during the seconds they appear. So you see, screenshots can be taken of Snapchat like anything else. If you or a family member face a criminal charge based on Snapchat or other social media evidence, get experienced legal help from a defense attorney in Fort Bend County, Montgomery County, Houston and Harris County. Don’t delay — your freedom may depend on it. Contact the Neal Davis Law Firm. We’ll start with a legal review of your case.

For single girls, Snapchat is a great resource. It allows them to browse through Snapchat profiles of other singles or communicate with potential dating prospects in a fun, unique way. Another benefit to using Snapchat is "secret" communication with people your partner is not aware of.

Flirting can be difficult all on its own, but flirting with someone digitally through a messaging app with photos and videos that literally disappear can be downright frustrating. Snapchat is the popular mobile application that allows users to send pictures and videos to a controlled list of contacts. Pictures and videos that are sent through Snapchat will fade away after a few seconds of a person viewing them. For single girls, Snapchat is a great resource. It allows them to browse through Snapchat profiles of other singles or communicate with potential dating prospects in a fun, unique way. Another benefit to using Snapchat is "secret" communication with people your partner is not aware of. While social media apps like Instagram and Facebook rely on public interaction, Snapchat operates solely behind a curtain. In fact, according to a 2015 study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking found that while more people use social networks like Facebook for innocuous reasons like keeping in touch with friends, Snapchat was more often used for flirting and meeting new partners, which often prompted jealousy in romantic relationships. If your beloved is cheating on you, they are more than likely using Snapchat as a tool. The fact that Snapchat deletes snaps after they are viewed makes it an ideal place for cheaters to operate. Try to get their phone in person and get to their Snapchat. If they are cheating on you, they will have a hard time giving you their phone to look through freely.
