Police Are Using AI Camera Networks to Stalk Women

A new report says police officers used AI license plate reader networks to track spouses, exes, and strangers for personal reasons.

The Institute for Justice identified 14 alleged abuse cases, including a Milwaukee officer who reportedly searched a partner’s plates nearly 180 times before resigning.

The findings raise fresh concerns about privacy, stalking, and weak accountability as systems like Flock Safety spread across U.S. cities.

Victims often uncovered the misuse themselves, underscoring how hard it can be to detect police surveillance abuse.
