Police officers logged bizarre justifications for Flock license-plate camera searches
Public records reveal that law enforcement officers across multiple agencies searched Flock Safety's nationwide license-plate camera network using vague or joke-like reasons such as 'LMAO,' 'IDK,' 'hehe,' and 'asdfg' instead of legitimate case justifications. Flock's system requires officers to enter a reason before running a search, but the logs show many entries that appear to be careless or unauthorized lookups rather than tied to actual investigations.
