Flock CEO Calls Officer Stalking Inevitable After 50 Charged

A Washington Post analysis links 46 misuse cases to the company’s license-plate readers, and the chief executive says his product catches perpetrators rather than preventing access.

A Washington Post analysis of police and court records published this week found that authorities have charged or accused at least 50 law enforcement officers of using automated license plate readers for unauthorized surveillance, including stalking women without consent [1]. The count, which appears in reports from Slashdot and WIRED dated August 3, represents the first time a single publisher has quantified these specific criminal allegations across multiple jurisdictions. No second publisher has independently verified the underlying case files, and the record carries no adoption figure for how many agencies or officers operated under the access regimes involved during the period analyzed.

Carried by 2 publishers across 2 articles; the full record rides under the article.
