Flock Camera Misuse in Racine County | Milwaukee News

A Racine County Sheriff’s investigator faced a ten-day suspension without pay after misusing Flock cameras to track a partner’s ex-boyfriend, claiming it was for a stalking investigation. Though the District Attorney initially found no criminal wrongdoing, renewed public scrutiny led to a re-examination — still resulting in no charges. The officer’s identity remains withheld. This case underscores growing concerns about surveillance tech misuse, even with departmental policies in place. In response, the Sheriff’s Office now restricts Flock access to supervisors and investigators, mandates regular audits, and rolled out mandatory training to prevent future abuse. Lieutenant Michael Luell emphasized that while Flock is a vital tool, its power demands clear guardrails to avoid misuse.
