Every new surveillance tool arrives wrapped in the same shiny little sales pitch…
It’ll fight crime, find missing children, catch dangerous suspects before they can hurt anyone else, blah, blah, blah. All you have to do is hand over more of your privacy, trust the ghouls behind the curtain, and don’t ask too many questions.

JUST IN: Georgia police supervisor arrested for allegedly using Flock cameras to track her boyfriend’s vehicle more than 30 times
— Polymarket (@Polymarket) July 26, 2026
That’s what police say happened in Conyers, Georgia. A female supervisor inside the department’s Real-Time Crime Center reportedly used the Flock Safety license plate reader system to stalk the car driven by her boyfriend.
Yeah, because that’s why this technology was invented, right?
Keep in mind, this lady wasn’t some rookie officer who accidentally clicked the wrong button. Paige Forte was a supervisor inside the unit trusted with access to this powerful technology.
And what’s really scary is she’s not the only one abusing the system.
The public’s concern about these systems being abused wasn’t paranoia. It’s totally valid.
Conyers police say they uncovered the abuse while auditing the Flock system.
Officials say Forte uses the cameras to do some old-fashioned girlfriend stalking.
Paige was placed on leave, investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, arrested, and charged.

CBS News:
After auditing its Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader system, the Conyers Police Department says it discovered one of its supervisors was misusing the technology.
The department said it launched an internal investigation and found that Paige Forte, a supervisor in the Real-Time Crime Center, allegedly accessed the system to track a vehicle driven by her domestic partner.
Forte was placed on administrative leave while the Georgia Bureau of Investigation conducted a criminal investigation. Conyers police said the GBI’s findings confirmed that Forte used the system for purposes unrelated to her law enforcement duties.
Forte has been arrested and faces charges related to the alleged misuse of the Flock Safety system.
“The integrity of our department depends on the public’s confidence that we use technology responsibly and within the law,” Chief Scott Freeman said in a statement. “When we discovered information suggesting our policies may have been violated, we acted immediately by launching an internal investigation and requesting an independent criminal investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. No employee is above the law, and we will continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability.”
This is a breathtaking abuse of access, authority, and public trust.
It also adds fuel to the debate many Americans are already having about this type of intrusive technology and who it’s being used to track behind the scenes.
The best argument from the right against flock cameras is that they’ll just find a way to use them against young white men just like they do with every other anarchotyrannical law and surveillance system on the books https://t.co/IPBFox7qOF

And it turns out across Atlanta, dozens of law enforcement officers have been fired or punished over misusing Flock cameras. These officers are accused of doing exactly what the public feared would happen… using a massive police database to search for people in their personal lives.
CBS News:
Within the past month, dozens of law enforcement officers across metro Atlanta have been terminated or disciplined over the alleged misuse of Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader systems. While it is unclear what prompted the recent wave of internal investigations, many of the cases involve officers accused of using the technology to search for or track people they knew personally.
We’re thrilled these cops got caught, but what happens in departments with cruddy oversight, lazy audits, or leaders who care more about being an embarrassment than exposing abuse?
And while police departments are still struggling to keep their officers from abusing cameras mounted along American roads, Flock is apparently ready to put the technology in the sky.
JD Rucker:
The next time you go for a drive, you might want to look up. The company that put thousands upon thousands of automated license plate readers in communities all over America is now putting them in the sky. Flock Alpha drones can travel at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, and they can read license plates from 2,000 feet away. These drones are being marketed as “first responders”, and they have the potential to be far more intrusive than automated license plate readers that are simply mounted on the side of the road.
America hasn’t even figured out how to prevent people in power from abusing cameras attached to poles, and now we’re preparing for takeoff? This is frightening.
And yes, this story also ties into a bigger debate, which has to do with inept female police officers.
When stories keep piling up involving female cops who can’t physically handle dangerous situations, make terrible snap decisions, or abuse their authority in deeply personal ways, people are going to ask whether women belong in law enforcement.
Revolver:
Women and men are wired differently. Period. Women are better at a ton of things. But violent, split-second, life-or-death confrontations aren’t where most women thrive. Pretending otherwise doesn’t empower women. It puts them and everyone else in danger.
[…]
The internet is full of female cop blooper reels, and sadly we have yet another one to add to the mix. This time the follies unfolded at a Hooters, where two female officers couldn’t manage to detain a relatively small male perp. It got so bad that a husky, 300-pound-looking bystander had to step in and finish the job for them.
It may look comical, but there is nothing funny about deliberately putting clearly incapable women in harm’s way just to satisfy the misguided cult of “equality.” Over and over, we see there is no such thing as equality when it comes to men and women. We are built differently for a reason, and that is perfectly fine, unless you are a Democrat. Then, suddenly, our natural biological differences become “racist” and “misogynistic.”
As you will see in this clip, women should not be frontline police officers. Period. End of story. Out of everyone in this video, the good Samaritan who stepped in to save the day is the one who should be wearing the badge.
Desiree:
This raw footage at a Hooters restaurant raises a brutal question for police departments everywhere: policy or reality?
In the push for diversity, many agencies forbid pairing based on gender or physical risk. On paper, it sounds noble.
But on the street? Operational safety comes first. If policies leave officers outmatched and prolong and unsafe confrontations, then the policy, not the public, is what needs fixing.

If the people operating these tools, male or female, can’t be trusted to control themselves, they certainly shouldn’t be trusted with an even larger surveillance network hovering over the rest of us. Today, it’s tracking your boyfriend. What happens tomorrow? Political opponents, journalists, or regular citizens?
And yes, once again, it’s also worth asking the all-important question: should women be police officers?
