Okay first off if this is the wrong section and it gets moved can a MOD plz pm me telling me where its moved to ?

Also kk basically i was wondering if lets say you did something online and made fun of someone on a website and then your school found out. Are the staff aloud to search your IP or trace you / can they ? (is it possible?)

I don't think they can unless the police are involved and even then they need a warrant? Btw i live in Canada if thats helpful.

+rep to helpful answers

I think they would deffinately need to get the police involved. Especially if the thing wasnt in school at all, since then it has nothing to do with them. At least in the UK i think that's right.

They cant track an IP themselves, but if they think its serious enough and the police are involved, the police can track an IP (I think)

Okay i thought so aswell thx

I assume, the will need the police to get involved, but they'd need a warrant.
They'd then most likely go to your ISP, and ask them who was using this IP at this time if dynamic etc.

But I don't think the police can do it themselves. Even CEOP go to the Police.

...You won't get in trouble with the police for making fun of somebody lol.

I have actually lmao but i cant seem to find anything helpful if they can find out my IP or not and if they have grounds to.

Also @Stephen its a big issue about cyber bullying and stuff even though im in high school they make a big deal about it. We were just joking for the fun of it nothing serious but i guess they took it the wrong way.

any other helpful answers would be nice
