Police Misusing Surveillance Tech | Detroit News
Description
Law enforcement is under fire for misusing Flock Safety cameras and license plate readers—tools meant for crime fighting, not personal spying. Officers in North Carolina and Missouri are facing charges or investigations for tracking ex-partners, sparking outrage and eroding public trust. Retired Detroit police chief Steve Dolunt warns these abuses aren’t just illegal—they’re deeply damaging to community confidence and could undermine legitimate investigations. Michigan lawmakers are now pushing for better officer training, but Dolunt argues the real issue is a lack of ethical judgment—not training. These powerful tools must stay focused on justice, not vendettas.
