The excuses logged in the system were “info” and “37.”
Tyler Murkerson got stopped by Coweta County sheriff’s deputies at a Newnan gas station in February 2023 over an alleged seatbelt violation. The seatbelt statute does not apply on private property. Deputies put him on the ground, pinned him, and tased him. Body-camera footage captured one deputy pressing a forearm against his neck. Every charge was later dismissed.
In September 2024 he sued the two deputies and Sheriff Leonard “Lenn” Wood for excessive force. That case was resolved around August 2026.
While it was still open, Coweta County Sheriff’s Office employees ran his 2024 Toyota Camry through Flock Safety’s nationwide automated license plate reader network five times between May 4 and November 18, 2025. Each search queried more than 6,000 participating agency camera networks. The two reasons that were disclosed read “info” and “37.” Neither matches any case, investigation, incident, or call for service. Three other operators remain unidentified. Murkerson also says his vehicle was placed on a persistent hot list that would alert every time a Flock camera saw it, and that deputies increased their presence around his home, commute, and business. He ended a six-year contract servicing vehicles for a neighboring police department because he no longer felt safe working near law enforcement.
More police officers arrested for “misusing Flock camera data” – this time in Albany, Georgia.
The only reason it seems like more cops are getting caught illegally abusing their access to these cameras/AI systems is because the public is finally starting to look into these systems.
On a related note that should surprise no one – this department isn’t even remotely compliant with “Brady List” requirements to report corrupt officers.
Imagine how many dirty cops and politicians are ACTUALLY illegally using this data. I’d bet the numbers would be shocking to most folks if the media actually looked.
If you live in a state where you can request access to these systems/databases and have some free time, I’d certainly recommend doing so.
This unconstitutional criminal cartel needs to be exposed and ultimately put out of business.
FOIA request this data and expose them accordingly…

He discovered the searches through HaveIBeenFlocked.com, the site that publishes audit logs obtained by public records requests. His new federal class-action lawsuit, filed October 8 in the Northern District of Georgia (3:26-cv-00223-LMM), names Flock Group Inc., Coweta County, Sheriff Wood, deputies William Faulkner and Randall Faulkner, and three John Does. It alleges the tracking was retaliation for the earlier lawsuit, conducted without probable cause or any legitimate investigative purpose.
Attorney Christopher Hall put it plainly: officers used the cameras “to illegally surveil him, invade his privacy, and harass him in clear violation of the law.” The complaint notes that Flock’s platform required only free-text entries and accepted whatever was typed—including, at one Oregon department, the word “hehehe” twenty times. A search logged that way documents nothing except that someone typed something.
This is the product Flock sold as a crime-fighting tool. It is a nationwide dragnet of roughly 100,000–120,000 cameras that records every plate that passes, stores the location and direction, and lets any authorized user query it across thousands of agencies with almost no real-time check. Officers do not need a warrant. They do not need a case number. Until recently they did not even need a plausible reason. Flock announced in August 2026 that it will start requiring case codes by the end of the year and expand automatic auditing. The change comes after dozens of documented cases in which officers used the same system to stalk wives, girlfriends, exes, and women they wanted to meet. A Georgia police chief allegedly searched his ex-partner’s plate and her daughter’s roughly 600 times. A Milwaukee officer ran nearly 180 searches on a woman he was dating and her former partner. Other officers have been fired or charged for the same pattern. Most of these abuses surface only because the target checked HaveIBeenFlocked or an internal review happened to catch it.
This is horrifying and every American needs to hear this
California resident exposes what’s really going on with Flock Cameras in America
“I want to be clear what these cameras actually are, and I say that with somebody with 20 years of experience in IT. I’ve served as the chief network architect for Fortune 500 companies, I’ve designed data centers, and today I work on cloud infrastructure for one of the largest loan origination companies in the country. I’m not speculating on how this technology works. I’ve read their patents and I know how it works.
Flock advertises these cameras as simple license plate readers. But their own patents tell a different story.
They’re AI-powered surveillance machines that capture every passing vehicle and person and transmit that data to a private corporate cloud, making it queryable by a multitude of state and federal agencies. The city of Corona does not control that database, and Corona residents have no public record rights against a private company’s servers. Our daily movements are being harvested by a $7.5 billion corporation, that only answers to venture capital investors, not to us. Flock did not reach that valuation on their per-camera subscription fees. That math doesn’t add up
The city council should also understand who they’re doing business with. Flock CEO was asked whether the company had any federal contracts. He said no. That was a lie.
Public records revealed that Flock had been secretly running a pilot program giving the US Border Patrol access to local police camera data without the knowledge of the cities that paid for the cameras.
Now consider who’s behind the company and where your data flows. Flock integrates directly with Palantir, a data fusion platform, with a $30 million contract with ICE. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, is also one of Flock’s primary investors. These are not separate companies with separate agendas. They are connected actors that are building a connected infrastructure.
Palantir’s own CEO stated publicly just this month that his technology is being used as a political instrument, designed to reduce the political power of certain voters. And that’s the ecosystem that our Corona cameras are feeding into.
We’re not anti-police at all. We’re against mass surveillance of innocent residents by a company with a documented record of deception, built by investors with a stated political agenda. We’re asking the City Council to start auditing the queries made against Flock’s database, to disclose any data sharing agreements, and to take a vote to cancel the Flock safety contract”
I looked more into this and he is 100% right
Patents describe broader object detection, including tracking people and pedestrians, patents like US11416545B1. The system uses a centralized cloud database for nationwide queries
Data goes to Flock’s private cloud, AWS-based, encrypted. Nationwide lookup is common, 75%+ of customers are enrolled enabling cross-jurisdictional searches. Residents have no direct public records access to the corporate servers.
This creates a mass surveillance network feeding a private company’s infrastructure
If you ask me this is laying the infrastructure for a mass surveillance network in America. We are being lied to. Cancel all contracts nationwide

The Fourth Amendment exists precisely to stop the government from mapping a citizen’s movements over months without a warrant or probable cause. Long-term location tracking is a search. Doing it because the target filed a civil rights lawsuit against the same department adds a First Amendment retaliation problem on top. Georgia law already makes it a crime to run a plate for non-law-enforcement purposes. The federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act bars obtaining motor-vehicle information for impermissible reasons. The lawsuit seeks class status for others whose plates Georgia agencies searched on Flock without any recorded investigative justification, plus damages under the DPPA and claims for invasion of privacy, negligence, and violations of the Georgia RICO and Computer Systems Protection Acts.
Flock’s response has been the standard corporate line: the technology helps solve crimes and find missing people, and the company disagrees with the claims. Coweta County did not comment. Three employees resigned during the department’s own Flock audit this summer; the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to look into the matter.
Police officer becomes a whistleblower and says that Flock Safety Cameras are not what were being told they are
He says they are not just capturing license plates, they are capturing everything and being used for mass surveillance without a warrant, “It records the make, the model, color, bumping stickers, you name it — it’s a very sophisticated AI software that uses a camera system to track and monitor every vehicle that goes by the camera lens”
“This information is shared city to city and even state to state without a warrant”
“Your consent was never required nor even asked for or even thought about when your city governments was putting up this new technology.
For example, the chief of the Pateka Police Department, she was confronted by a local reporter on this very question of what gave them the right to put up these cameras without consulting the public. Her response was, so the criminals wouldn’t know about it and avoid detection. So there you go. That’s their best argument about”
He says he brought up concerns about privacy and transparency and in return he was suspended without pay
He says we are headed the same way as the soviets and China
He says this is what you’re told by authority, “If you are worrying about it, it’s because you have something to hide.
The philosophy that this innovation is already grounded on is already proven to be rotten. It’s grounded on this idea that you, the citizen, are first and foremost a potential suspect or potential defendant that needs to be tracked and monitored for your safety and for the safety of others. It’s the same philosophy that the Soviets and many authoritarian states during the 20th century adopted, and we all know how that worked out for them. It’s the same philosophy that the Chinese are currently adopting right now and they have a similar surveillance system”
Keep in mind I’ve also shared videos of the Flock camera called “Condor”
This goes beyond vehicles and actually tracks you as you walk by. The cameras follow you, can zoom in and automatically detect you in areas
This goes way beyond license plate reading. This is the mass surveillance network being established in America
We are right around the corner from a police state

What Flock built is a dictatorship camera network. Every driver who passes one becomes a potential subject of a searchable historical record that any cop with a login can pull for any reason, or no reason, and the company spent years treating the reason field as optional decoration. The Murkerson case shows what that design produces when the target is someone who already sued the same sheriff’s office. The audit logs do not lie about the dates, the five searches, the 6,000-plus networks, or the entries “info” and “37.” They only fail to show a single legitimate investigation.
