A Georgia Cop Used Flock to Track 2 Other Cops: His Ex and Her Friend
A Georgia police officer used Flock, an automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) system, to track the movements of a fellow officer with whom he had an affair and a man whose vehicle frequently appeared near hers, according to internal investigation records. The incident illustrates unauthorized access to law enforcement technology for personal surveillance purposes.
Why it matters: Law enforcement agencies deploying ALPR systems must implement and audit access controls to prevent officers from misusing these tools for personal vendettas or stalking; this case demonstrates a concrete abuse risk that practitioners should address through role-based permissions, logging, and regular audits.
