Five Indianapolis officers charged in Flock license-plate camera abuse case

Newly unsealed court documents show five Indianapolis police officers have been charged with misusing the department's Flock automatic license plate readers, including 18-year veteran Jonathan Schultz, accused of using roughly 300 cameras to stalk his ex-wife and another woman. Separately, Franklin County, North Carolina ended its Flock contract and fired a detective for tracking a private citizen, while San Jose officials are pushing for tighter controls after an officer shared Flock data with a relative accused of domestic violence.

Indianapolis charges five officers over Flock license-plate camera misuse

Indianapolis police charged five officers Wednesday with fraud and misconduct after an internal audit of the city's 301-camera Flock system uncovered widespread abuse; one officer also faces a stalking charge. One officer had already resigned and the other four were suspended and recommended for termination. County prosecutor Ryan Mears said one officer searched license plates tied to his wife and two acquaintances 3,759 times over ten months.
