Flock Safety's License Plate Cameras Face an Architecture Problem
Key Takeaways
- A Washington Post investigation found Georgia police chief Michael Steffman searched Marci Bakely's plates and her daughter's roughly 600 times via Flock Safety.
- Steffman was arrested in November 2025 on stalking, harassment, and ALPR misuse charges, and died before trial.
- The Post identified at least 50 officers accused of ALPR misuse, 26 of whom targeted partners or people they hoped to date; at least 100 department employees have since been accused.
- Flock argues those users are a tiny share of its 140,000-plus monthly accounts and cites permanent audit logs as a safeguard.
