About 3 weeks ago a friend of mine had an AOL convo and the person he was talkin to said they were gonna gove his IP adress to the police. Nothing happened to my buddy for 3 weeks. But thursday afternoon, in front of his neighboors house their was an investigater from the PD. My neighboor asked the investigator why he was in front of his house and he said he couldn't tell (i'd assume thats normal). This raises the question to me, is this a coincidence or should he be worried. I don't know what to tell em. On one hand why would it take 3 weeks for this and why would teh investigator stay in the car for an online/computer type of issue and not come back the next day at a different time when he maybe home? But on the other hand there aren't too many bad happenings in his neighboorhood so maybe they are looking for him. What do you guys think?

what did ur friend actually say/do in this convo for him to get in trouble with the police for it??? i doubt there would just be police investigator just standing outside his house if it had anything to do with this convo..i dont see what they would achieve by standing by his house. i dont think the police would bother doing much if someone randomly reported an ip address to the police but obviously it depends on what the allegations are for?

Well, it depends on many factors.
If your friend is now being investigated for possible child porn or solicitation then it would take a while for the police to put together enough evidence to get a subpoena for his Internet service provider to track the account to him. But, they could then use that same subpoena to gain access to his account and key log his every move.
With out knowing more about the situation, that is the best I can tell you.
