Summary
Skylar Thompson, 31, was charged with Level 6 felony official misconduct and misdemeanor fraud after prosecutors said he used police camera access to track his girlfriend for more than a year.
More than 2,000 searches of the same license plate were allegedly run between Dec. 31, 2025, and Aug. 2, with Thompson labeling them "city planning/traffic analysis" despite having no such duties.
An internal audit by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department flagged the activity, prompting an Indiana State Police investigation; Thompson resigned when confronted and turned himself in Monday.
Flock Safety’s license plate reader network is used nationwide, but the case adds to mounting scrutiny over privacy, accountability and potential misuse by law enforcement.
