Prosecutors charged five former Georgia police officers over the alleged misuse of Flock Safety license plate reader camera system data.
On June 25, the Albany Police Department asked that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) investigate several officers after an internal audit of its automatic plate reader camera system, according to a GBI press release.
The audit allegedly found that the officers had repeatedly gone into the Flock system and used stored license plate information for purposes unrelated to official police duties.
The five former Albany police officers arrested were Tytianna Davis, 27; Jade Jackson, 32; Nicholas Richardson, 30; Brittney Smith, 23; and Issac Whitus, 24, according to the GBI. Davis faces five counts of misusing license plate data, Richardson faces 11 counts, Jackson and Whitus face two counts each, and Smith faces one count. All five were also charged with violating their oaths of office.
