By Theunis Bates - AOL News
LONDON (Nov. 6) -- Privacy campaigners often warn law-abiding citizens about the dangers of sharing too much personal information on social media sites.

The thief -- wanted for stealing $90 from an elderly woman -- was described by his victim as a 40-something-year-old man, with wavy blond-gray hair. Unfortunately, when Hampshire police typed those details into their Electronic Facial Identification Technique software program, the computer churned out a picture of a man with bright-green, lettucelike hair. Hampshire Police Police have admitted ...
