Good thing we’re implementing mass surveillance, it totally won’t be abused
Lock him up.
Aww he just has a crush on her. It’s sweet. I hear the script is being shopped around.
This is also what encourages surveillance methods such as flock cameras, They are being misused for surveillance
Now imagine what they do with the systems that aren’t automatically logged and monitored
The cop, Lamar Roman, wasn’t trying to pull over a suspected criminal. He was tracking and chasing a woman that [he met and harassed](https://www.local10.com/news/local/2026/03/11/keys-deputy-misused-official-databases-to-pursue-woman-he-met-on-set-of-bad-monkey-mcso/?ref=404media.co) on the set of the AppleTV+ show *Bad Monkey*, which he had worked a security detail shift on a few weeks prior to pulling her over. After meeting the woman, catcalling her and harassing her for her full name and Instagram details, the cop illegally looked up her vehicle information on DAVID, a Florida Department of Motor Vehicles database for law enforcement. He then put her license plate details on a surveillance “hotlist,” meaning he would get a notification in real time anytime she drove by an AI-powered license plate surveillance camera.
Roman told investigators that he saw the woman as a “shiny thing” and knew that using surveillance tools to track her was illegal, according to police records. He told investigators that “I knew that when I put [her into DAVID], I’m like ‘fuck’ and that’s why I stopped right after and nothing else.” But that wasn’t the end of it; he investigated the woman then used a powerful license plate tracking database to find her location and chase her down. In doing so, he also “almost cause[d] a head on collision while passing as a white truck traveling northbound had to veer off the roadway to avoid a collision.”

Cop needs a restraining order and stalking charges
ACAB. Super-stalker Edition.
This is insane. But amazingly, he was fired, charged, and arrested.
When you abuse your profound position of public trust like this, you should go to „throw away the key“ jail. You can’t be trusted with even the slightest amount of power or responsibility over other people.

Utterly scary : Escalating behavior, premeditation with the “ hotlist”, organized behavior , using position of power… I suspect this not his first time doing some kind of harassment and I don’t want to think about his fantasies. A predator through and through.
My mom had a cop stalk her. She had her condo broken into, and a creep cop came and took the report. She saw him around the area multiple times after, and at one point he literally came into her unit uninvited. He opened her closed entry door, and then went through her closed bedroom door where she was hiding. She screamed, and he seemed surprised. His only punishment was that he was put on another beat.
That is creepy times ten creepy.
That man is gonna kill this woman (or some other woman) someday, I swear. The fact he knows everything about her life is terrifying. These systems need to go, and we SERIOUSLY need a digital privacy bill of rights. There should be zero databases LEO have unrestricted access to.
Cops being able to turn off their body cameras at will is wild. I get that perhaps in certain situations it may be required (although I can’t think why) but there should be a system in place where by they have to call in and request permission and state a reason before they are given a code to turn off the camera for a set number of minutes before it switches back on again.
these guys all need to be treated like regular citizens, fire them then press charges.
none of this „suspended with pay“ bullshit cops get and no one else in society gets.
but instead politicians are giving them more tools to be even more abusive with, and their union is the only union in the world conservative politicians aren’t trying to smash to pieces.

You know that button that you can press to get notified when your favourite creator uploads a new video, meme, or story?
They can do that for your license plate and Flock.
Cops love surveillance tech that tracks YOU. But body cams, computer logs, and other tech that surveill cops? Suddenly that’s a privacy concern…
It’s always the pigs
Im not naive about cops and what they do, but if we cant trust the police with this technology when in an ideal world they would be the ones who would only use it properly, then maybe we just shouldnt have the technology. If the data can be abused so easily and to such a damaging effect, maybe it just shouldnt exist.
And this, my friends, is why we can’t have this crap. Where are the angels that will administer these systems? As soon as you introduce humans into a system like this, it’s flawed.
I’ve seen the websites cataloging the camera locations and municipalities running them. Where are the websites listing candidates running for office that will stop this crap? I’ll support them!
Typical cop
I’d like to take this opportunity to say that I know too many women who have been stalked by police officers. I’m not even counting the ones who were in LTR with one, just maybe spoke to one briefly or went on 1 or 2 dates with one, and then the cop stalked her for months, often using tools he had at work to find her.
A lot of women I know have a no cops / no military dating policy and this is why, plus they are often violent once they think they have you locked down.
„If you uave nothing to hide, what’s the problem?“ can fuck off.
If you’ve ever known people in law enforcement, especially at the city and county level, you’ll understand that this will literally always happen.
The local cop personality type is drawn for this kind of invasive creepy shit.
I don’t think these systems should exist, but while they do, there are fairly simple things you can do, like limiting access to two gatekeepers with a log etc.? – it’s really not that hard, they already do it with NCIC.
A friend of mine was harassed for months after meeting a police officer at a dinner with friends. We’re not sure how he even got her number. She repeatedly rejected his advances. It’s harrowing to feel like you have little recourse other than to hope they get bored.
Tip of the iceberg, ones that have been charged
