"To do anything like that, we'd have to issue a search warrant to Facebook," Creamer said. "I don't know if we've done that but I'm pretty sure we have not done that. … You'd have to serve [Facebook] with a search warrant to search their records for an IP." A Facebook spokesperson told the website that if they were served with a warrant, they would turn over "recent login/logout IP addresses … and location information.
