Footage Shows Cop Stalking Woman After Surveilling Her with a LPR
18 days ago
- Officer Lamar Roman illegally tracked and pursued a woman he met on a TV set, using police databases and surveillance systems.
- Roman catcalled the woman, obtained her personal details, and placed her license plate on a 'hotlist' for real-time tracking via AI-powered cameras.
- He drove recklessly at over 70 mph, passed vehicles in no-passing zones, nearly caused a head-on collision, and pulled her over without legal cause.
- Roman admitted to knowing his actions were illegal and having no valid reason for the surveillance, highlighting police abuse of surveillance tools for personal stalking.
- The incident underscores broader privacy issues with automated license plate readers and law enforcement databases being misused for non-criminal purposes.

- Three Fayetteville police officers were fired for unauthorized searches in the Flock License Plate Reader system.

- This incident is part of a series of recent misuse cases involving the FLOCK system in Georgia, including other officers being fired or charged.
- Authorities have not released the officers' names, the exact timeframe of violations, or whether criminal charges will be filed.
Police Keep Losing Their Jobs for Using Flock Cameras to Stalk People

- Flock cameras are solar-powered, automated license plate readers installed on 80,000 street corners nationwide, logging billions of plates monthly and building an $8.3 billion business.
- Police officers are increasingly using Flock cameras to stalk romantic partners and exes instead of solving crimes, with at least 24 documented cases in the past two years.
- Examples include Milwaukee officers Josue Ayala and Tehrangi Chapman, who both misused the technology to track individuals in their personal lives and faced criminal charges.
- In January 2025 alone, six new cases of officer misconduct involving Flock cameras were reported in states including Wisconsin, Illinois, South Carolina, Texas, California, and Georgia.
- Privacy advocates like the ACLU warn that tracking a vehicle's movements reveals deeply personal information, and the technology has also been used to target immigrants without warrants and monitor abortion seekers traveling across state lines.
- Backlash is growing: over 30 municipalities canceled Flock contracts in 2025, and grassroots groups like DeFlock map camera locations, while Flock's CEO has apologized for calling activists 'terroristic'.
- The ACLU expects opposition to government surveillance to unite Americans across political divides, with the movement likely to continue growing.
