Footage Shows #Cop #Stalking Woman He Met on a TV Set After #Surveilling Her With a License Plate Reader

Roman told investigators that he saw the woman as a “shiny thing” and knew that using surveillance tools to track her was illegal, according to police records. He told investigators that “I knew that when I put [her into DAVID], I’m like ‘fuck’ and that’s why I stopped right after and nothing else.” But that wasn’t the end of it; he investigated the woman then used a powerful license plate tracking database to find her location and chase her down. In doing so, he also “almost cause[d] a head on collision while passing as a white truck traveling northbound had to veer off the roadway to avoid a collision.”

Another instance of why real-time plate tracking is really bad. I wish we had privacy legislation in the US. Flock and other companies like them shouldn't even be legal.

“Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car's location, date, and time.

#Police Have Reportedly Used #LicensePlate Readers to #Stalk Romantic Interests at Least 14 Times in Recent Years
Police #surveillance has led to repeated abuse. One shockingly common form: police officers using #ALPR networks to keep tabs on romantic interests, partners, exes, and even strangers who caught their eye in public. Most incidents came to light only after victims reported officers’ behavior to police, typically in the context of a broader #stalking allegation.

The known cases of #police #stalking are almost certainly a vast underreporting of the overall #abuse, because they largely include only cases in which the behavior was so egregious that it led to police officers being fired, arrested, or both.

But a friend expressed concerns it could be used to criminalise investigate journalism. I imagine if this was actually a problem it would have at least been mentioned on MediaWatch. But does anyone know of articles by journalists or media academics examining this?
