It’s been a tumultuous year for Flock Safety, the Atlanta-based technology company best known for the automated license plate readers (ALPRs) it builds for police departments.

Prosecutors in Marion County, Indiana, on Wednesday charged five Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers with fraud and official misconduct, following investigations that found they had been using the Department’s Flock camera system to track people who were not suspected of any crime, including former romantic partners and women met while on patrol. One of the five officers, an eighteen-year veteran of the IMPD named Jonathan Schultz, was also charged with two counts of stalking; prosecutors found that in one case he lied to a woman by telling her he was an FBI agent and started following her to the gym and other locations, according to The Washington Post, which first reported on cops’ rampant misuse of Flock ALPRs to track and stalk women last month. The Washington Post’s investigation also found that at least fifty police officers had already been charged with using ALPRs for illegal purposes, in some cases for stalking.

Schultz and three of the other IMPD officers charged by prosecutors on Wednesday have been suspended and recommended for termination, according to a statement posted on X by the Department. The fifth officer, Abigail Cramer, resigned; she had been using Flock’s system to retrieve information on relatives of her wife’s ex-wife, who had previously been harassed by Cramer, according to the Post.

“Today is a deeply disheartening and disappointing day for IMPD,” agency Chief Tanya Terry said in a statement.
