Georgia arrests five ex-Albany officers for misusing the Flock license-plate camera network
An internal audit found the officers ran unauthorized, non-police searches on the Flock Safety plate-reader system; all five were booked and charged with misusing the data and violating their oath.
- The five, Davis, Jackson, Richardson, Smith and Whitus, no longer work for the department.
- The charges: Misuse of License Plate Data and Violation of Oath of Office.
- Flock's cameras log the movements of ordinary drivers across whole towns.
Why it matters: Who watches a plate-reader network? Its own officers did, for their own ends, until an audit noticed.
