A Milwaukee police officer resigned after investigators found he had used automated license plate reader technology to track a woman he was dating nearly 180 times in the span of two months.
The Institute for Justice points to a Kansas police chief who allegedly ran an ex-girlfriend's plate more than 200 times. In Kentucky, another officer reportedly tracked an ex hundreds of times over a two-month period. In each instance, the searches were entered into the systems as investigative activity, which means databases built for legitimate criminal work were allegedly repurposed for deeply personal surveillance.

She checked a public website called Have I Been Flocked, a transparency tool that lets people see whether automated plate readers have scanned their vehicle.

Woulda thunk this was a California or Florida story at first glance.
ALPRs have scanned your vehicle if you’ve been just about anywhere.
The question is, are people at Flock or PDs inappropriately accessing that data/video for personal reasons?
Should have bought one of those DIY GPS trackers like the one Hank Schrader put on Gustavo Fring’s car.
There are Apple AirTags now for such purpose.

MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Police Department said Josue Ayala, the officer accused of misconduct over his Flock searches, has resigned from his role. The announcement came ahead of his Wednesday afternoon court appearance.
In court:
Ayala is charged with one misdemeanor count of attempted misconduct in public office. He pleaded not guilty on Wednesday, and the court issued a $2,500 signature bond.
Ayala is due back in court for a pretrial conference in April.
Yes Martha, police can be corrupt aas well. But don’t paint with a wide brush, because power tends to corrupt. Not ll police are corrupt though.
I remember the anti-ICE activity in Minn when somehow the anti-ICE people were able to get readings on tags to ID which cars were run by ICE. They’d make a radio (or telegram post) call with a suspect plate and “somehow” someone would come back with the plate data.
Two stories from my media career come to mind.
First a woman making calls to police in the newsroom was checked on by the cop answering the phone used her name to get license information on where she lived read it back to her.
Next I was working television master control on a Saturday night when a uniformed on duty member of law enforcement entered the room the front door was supposed to be locked.
He asked for a woman who did news reporting for the station. I said she wasn’t around and he left.
Why didn’t he just put an Apple AirTag under the chassis? Or sneak a tracker app onto her phone? Dumbass.
