How public records can help uncover Flock misuse

The AJC has tracked dozens of reports of police in Georgia misusing Flock license plate readers to track vehicles for personal reasons. Officers have faced suspensions, termination and even arrests for violating state law. The public is finding out about these cases of Flock abuse through a mix of public statements, public records requests and public databases that aggregate data from thousands of police departments.
