Portland, OR, September 9, 2026 — A resident of Amarillo, Texas, has reported that a former police officer allegedly used Flock cameras and databases to track his vehicle for several months. The father stated that the extensive surveillance caused him to fear for his children’s safety, prompting him to change their sleeping arrangements.

The individual, who reported the alleged tracking, cited fear for his family’s well-being as the primary concern stemming from the sustained surveillance. The former police officer reportedly utilized Flock camera systems and related databases to monitor the father’s vehicle over a period spanning multiple months.

As a result of the allegations, the officer involved was terminated from their position. Subsequently, the former officer was charged with tampering with a government record. The specific police department employing the officer was not provided in the report, nor were the exact dates or duration of the tracking incident.

The Flock camera system is a license plate recognition technology that captures images of vehicles passing by. Law enforcement agencies utilize these systems to assist in investigations, including locating stolen vehicles and identifying suspects. The details surrounding how the former officer accessed or misused this technology for personal tracking purposes remain under investigation.

The father’s decision to alter his children’s sleeping arrangements underscores the perceived threat and distress caused by the alleged unwarranted surveillance.
