Good morning I have some personal news: I am moving back to upstate New York. The main reason is to be closer to family, and my wife and I both terribly miss the region we grew up in. There's also a bit more for our kids there, which has become apparent as they've grown up.
New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force.
One used it for five years after retirement, spying on his wife during a custody battle.
Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy.
🧵
Lot of eye-opening details in this new Post story on how Flock's lackadaisical attitude toward security -- the company didn't require 2FA until this August -- has allowed unauthorized people to access sensitive data https://t.co/L7w8AgNiwF
Bodycam footage of the police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley has leaked through Dark Horse Press.
Mississippi DPS claimed the Senatobia officer who fired the fatal shot feared for his life. His bodycam has not been released.

ICE and the IRS seized $450k from an Arizona small business and kept it without charging them with any crime, in apparent violation of federal law. https://t.co/p85NCK1ChO
"The biggest hurdle to a full accounting of immigration-related queries is that millions of the searches in Akron’s network include vague or indecipherable justifications."
A Flock account stays active months after a cop is suspended for killing a girl. A resident found the problem in the logs and notified the city. The city “overlooked” the email from the “activist.”
The guardrails at work.

I think it's actually 7 deputies (so far) in Richmond County: Corey Whitfield, Jaquarius Yarbrough, John McKenzie, Curtis Hoskins, Joshua Johnson, Sean Morrow, and Jose Ferrer. Out of 237 total sworn officers 🙃
"Deputy Corey Whitfield was charged with misuse of license plate readers and violation of his oath of office following the investigation, McNeil said.
He is the sixth deputy to face arrest for misuse of Flock cameras."
There are more.
