A Georgia Cop Used Flock to Track 2 Other Cops: His Ex and Her Friend

Why this matters: This is exactly the abuse that critics warned about when cities started building out automatic license plate reader networks. Flock cameras log where your car goes, and officers can query that data. The system is sold as a crime-fighting tool. Here it was used by one cop to monitor an ex and whoever she spent time with. That is stalking with a badge and a login. The deeper problem is access: when powerful surveillance tools are available inside a department with weak oversight, personal vendettas get run through official infrastructure. Most cities using Flock have no public audit trail and no easy way for targets to know they were tracked.
