(Atlanta News First) — DeKalb County officials are set to vote Tuesday morning on a proposal to implement more oversight of Flock surveillance technology. The proposal by Super District 6 Commissioner Ted Terry calls for independent civilian oversight and auditing of the county’s police surveillance network. With no federal oversight in place, some officials worry about abuses of the Flock system. A growing number of police officers around Georgia have been fired, arrested or removed from duty over allegations they misused the Flock Safety license plate reader (LPR) database for personal reasons, including accusations of tracking romantic partners and acquaintances. The meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. RELATED: AI audit tool flags suspicious police searches as Flock misuse cases mount in Georgia Copyright 2026 WANF. All rights reserved.
