Like hitch, i think they can read messages, cause what if something illegal happened in pm and the polices told them to hand private messages over

Thats what makes me think they can if they needed to send stuff to the polices cause how else would it work, idk

Or maybe im being stupid and talking nonsense idk

Edit: by this i mean if a member was to be involved in a crime and talk about it in pm, not "i read this in the news" cause newspapers normally make stuff up, they did that years ago to my brother - basically what actually happened was he was driving a school bus in the middle of winter, hit a patch of ice on a bad corner and skidded off of the road, local newspaper turned that into a load of lying nonsense, they almost got taken to court they were that off the mark, to put it nicely
