Florida Deputy Resigns After Using Flock Cameras to Stalk Ex-Girlfriend

A Brevard County, Florida sheriff's deputy named "Deputy of the Year" in 2025 resigned after an internal investigation found he abused the Flock automated license-plate-reader network to track his ex-girlfriend's movements, alongside findings of racist language, sexual misconduct and repeated law-breaking. Investigators confirmed he searched her vehicle registration under a false "investigation" justification and accessed the system while off duty. The case illustrates how integrated surveillance infrastructure built for public safety can be misused for personal control once officers hold routine access, a pattern already documented among police departments in other states.
