Multiple Georgia police officers have been fired in 2026 for improperly using Flock license plate reader cameras to conduct searches outside their job scope — the core violation being unauthorized surveillance rather than criminal stalking. The Fayetteville Police Department uncovered the misconduct through an internal audit, and similar cases have emerged across DeKalb and Henry County departments. The headline uses 'stalk' as interpretive framing for what authorities documented as unauthorized searches, which is a rhetorical choice but reflects a real pattern of privacy violations. Flock Safety itself is designed for legitimate law enforcement work, but the cases show the technology enables misconduct when internal controls fail.
