Read about it some today...just noticed there is a video too

https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/prosper-texas-police-department-affair-demotions-i-team/

Quote :

"The detectives also handed over information from Flock, the department's license plate reader system. The data led them to believe the pair was meeting in neighborhoods, parking lots and at a nearby hotel. And they submitted surveillance video shared by the hotel, which showed Harper and Windon entering and exiting a hotel room two days in a row."

Quote :

"Ken Myers, the interim chief, said the detectives violated three policies for conducted an unauthorized investigation and use of the license plate readers. Their sergeant was disciplined for her handling of the matter. The sole violation against the couple was for not reporting the relationship. All six were demoted and placed on a one-year probation. All six have appealed the discipline. In Buttery's disciplinary hearing, Myers said the situation had "spun out of control" and focused on the fact that Buttery and the others had investigated one of their own. According to Myers, if the detectives had suspected misconduct or potential criminal activity, they should have let Internal Affairs or the Texas Rangers investigate. Myers also said he disagreed that the use of Flock had been in accordance with the department's policy."

I agree with former chief of police, the whistleblowers shouldn't be punished for using flock, speaking up, etc

They make a big target for hackers. Also, the way they seem to share data is problematic. The inference attacks you can do with location data is also a concern. It's great if they use it to help clean up areas and make places like Moore Square more accessible for families--however, if it's used to leaks SPII like TGL's appointment times when he's cleaning sand out of his vagina you can see the sensitivity of the data they record.
