A Georgia police officer allegedly used Flock cameras to monitor his estranged wife over 717 times, according to an affidavit obtained by WSBTv. The officer, whose identity was not released, reportedly accessed the automated license plate reader system without authorization to track her vehicle movements across multiple locations.

The surveillance occurred during an ongoing domestic dispute, with investigators discovering the misuse through routine audits of the Flock camera network. The affidavit states the officer had no legitimate law enforcement purpose for the extensive tracking.

Authorities emphasize this represents a serious breach of privacy and misuse of public surveillance technology. The case highlights concerns about oversight of automated tracking systems used by law enforcement agencies nationwide.

The officer has been placed on administrative leave pending criminal investigation and potential disciplinary action. Charges may include violation of privacy laws and unauthorized access to government databases.
