Summary
Three former Bibb County, Georgia, deputies were arrested Monday after investigators said they used Flock license-plate reader data to track people they had personal relationships with.
The sheriff’s office said an internal audit with Flock found the searches were for personal, non-law-enforcement purposes, leading to charges including stalking, prohibited use of license-plate data and oath violations.
Toni Lewis and Coznavian Stubbs resigned during the investigation, while Joseph Callaway resigned as a K-9 deputy shortly after his arrest; all three were later released on bond.
Sheriff David Davis said Flock’s Audit Assistance tool, introduced in April, uncovered the misuse, adding to broader concerns about abuse risks in the widely used camera network.
