Five cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost.com, the prosecutor said. From last month:

A prosecutor files cases against five Indianapolis Police officers for abusing the Flock surveillance network. "The allegation is that the officers were searching or running the license plate information and tracking individuals through the Flock system. Very often times they had direct relationships with these individuals," Marion County…

One of the cops, an 18-year veteran, ran Flock searches on women he met out in public, then showed up whereever they were to try to do meet-cutes: their gym, a Walmart, a Smoothie King. Said to one woman that "he spilt yogurt on his pants and told her, 'You know what that looks like.'"

I wonder what the crimes solved vs crimes committed ratio is with this system... https:// gizmodo.com/five-indianapolis- cops-charged-with-misusing-flock-cameras-including-one-case-of-stalking-2000816822

I should not be surprised that men who pick up women via Flock camera have absolutely NO game, but jfc that line is so cringe
-
what boggles is that this is a known issue with database access. every tech company has uncovered stalkers, every law enforcement agency from local up to the CIA. the fact Flock was deployed with no guardrails & no auditing & no policies & that reporters had to dig through the data is appalling.
-
Maybe giving random cops control over the panopticon is a bad idea.
-
I know a woman who was dating a cop and she was visited by another cop warning her against dating him. The warning turned out to be 100% correct.
-
like most surveillance & swat-military tech for law enforcement, the vendors put on flashy conferences with success testimonials, immersive videos of raids, tutorials on all the features & work-arounds & absolutely no cautionary content. while these cops behaved badly they were beyond enabled.
-
I would be scared of the second cop also
-
Wonder who those cops pissed off to get caught while the others I am sure are also abusing the system were ignored
-
There's a spotlight on Flock, as there should be. But there are more companies than just them, Axon, Motorola, Rekor, etc. They should all be under scrutiny, every last one

I wish I had game like that yogurt playah

Holy shit. Spying on your ex-wife is already a massive loser thing to do. Spying on your current wife's *ex-husband* puts you in the running for king loser, biggest loser currently alive.
-
No surprise these tools would have to abuse Flock to meet women.
-
Its not the most important thing going on here, but every now and then I find myself amazed all over again at just how stupid some of these people are
-
Accountability for abuse of privilege is very inspiring.
-
What woman wouldn't be dazzled by that pickup line?
-
I had a cop from New England leave a comment on my YouTube video the other day saying that people need to stop resisting Flock because we have nothing to worry about if we are not criminals. He said that no one cared for 9yrs, so why now... as if they told us all what they were doing.
-
zero fuckin surprise here, but thanks to y'all for doing the reporting to get these creeps prosecuted. unfortunately, we'll never catch 'em all -- the abuse isn't worth any trade off for "safety" -- not at all
-
Used exactly as designed by its target audience
-
I worked in a transit EOC with police dispatch and if you weren't trained on police dispatch, you could not access driver information, very simple. Why aren't the same restrictions applied to flock data, where only certain trained and management level can evaluate it?
