Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is going high-tech in its efforts to crack down on poachers. Officers last month used Facebook to track down Brian Spuler, 18, after he posted a picture of a snook he caught illegally on the social networking site. Spuler was arrested and fined $350. Officers have used tip offs and fake accounts to trap a number of offenders.
