Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, August 10, 2026 —

A recent report by InvestigateTV has brought to light allegations of misuse of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) provided by Flock Safety, with concerns extending to transparency issues within the system itself.

The report details instances where law enforcement agencies may have improperly utilized the ALPR technology. One specific case mentioned involves North Manchester, Indiana, where a local critic alleges his vehicle was repeatedly tracked by the police department. The nature of these alleged tracking incidents and the specific law enforcement officials involved were not fully detailed in the summary.

Further complicating the oversight of ALPR usage, Flock Safety has reportedly altered its system logs. According to the report, these changes were made to obscure details about data searches, with the company citing officer safety as the reason for the alterations. This move has raised further questions about the transparency and accountability surrounding the use of ALPR data by law enforcement.

The allegations come at a time when concerns about the misuse of ALPR systems are growing nationwide. The InvestigateTV report highlights that there are over 70 documented cases across the country where law enforcement officers have faced disciplinary action or even arrest due to improper use of the Flock system. These documented misuses reportedly include actions taken for personal reasons, such as stalking and harassment.

The specific details of the disciplinary actions and arrests, including the names of the officers and departments involved, were not provided in the summary. The full scope of Flock Safety’s system log modifications and the precise impact on transparency also remain subjects of ongoing scrutiny.
