    Well if nothing else this is catching some officers that don’t like to follow rules. But ALPR searches shouldn’t be allowed at all without a warrant.

      At the very least, peer reviewed by a superior officer. Im sure most of them are corrupt too, but it adds a barrier to entry that makes conviction easier.

    Jonathan Schultz: Charged with 12 counts of official misconduct, 12 counts of fraud, and two counts of stalking. Court documents indicate Schultz used the system nearly 1,400 times to search 11 different women, including his ex-wife, a woman he met while investigating a stolen car report, and a gym acquaintance he routinely monitored

    Flock has only been implemented there since early 2025. Around 80 times per month.

    In a world where Flock cameras are this frequent, a license plate is illegal compelled speech.
