Kentucky Officer Arrested Over Flock

Shively, Kentucky, police officer Asad Zahir was arrested after authorities said he used Flock Safety license-plate-reader cameras to track his ex-girlfriend more than 2,000 times. Flock’s AI-powered audit tool flagged the searches after the company added monitoring to detect law-enforcement misuse. The arrest follows other recent officer resignations or arrests tied to alleged abuses of the camera network, which scans license plates and stores vehicle-location data. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called the spread of license-plate readers “out of control” and urged changes, citing privacy risks.
