A Los Angeles detective says that he was banned from sharing details about his work on Twitter after tweeting a photo of a murder victim. Sal LaBarbera, who has served on gang and homicide squads for 24 years, shared a photo of Oscar Arevalo lying dead on a curb after he was fatally shot during a gang dispute.

Arvelo’s body was covered in a blanket and was surrounded by police tape and markers to indicate where bullet casing had landed. His feet were visible in the photo. “Guess where I’m at??? It never ends,” LaBarbera said in his tweet, according to The New York Post. The tweet has since been deleted.

He says that he wanted to use the social network to raise awareness of the gang violence problem in L.A. and seems to have no regrets over sharing the photo. LaBarbera says that if he had known how much attention the photo received, “I would have done [it] sooner. Stop the violence.”

However, it seems that LaBarbera’s stint in “Twitter jail” has come to an end as he is starting to share details about violent crimes in L.A. once again.

LaBarbera — who has 4,706 followers at the time of this writing — certainly had good intentions when he tweeted the photo, so I’m not sure why his superiors felt the need to stop him from tweeting work-related material.

This is far from the first time that someone has landed themselves in hot water over their Twitter activity. In February, a deputy attorney general was given his marching orders after suggesting in a tweet that riot police should use live ammunition on protestors, while a social media employee was fired after dropping an F-bomb on the official Chrysler Twitter account.

In June, a social media manager was fired for suggesting on Twitter that an agency’s employees took Friday afternoons off to play golf. Meanwhile, a PR agency was fired over tweets about negative reviews of a video game.

Perhaps the year’s biggest Twitter faux pas occurred when Anthony Weiner accidentally tweeted a photo of himself in his underwear instead of sending it as a Direct Message — this led to a scandal that resulted in him resigning from Congress.
