Officer Accused of Abusing Flock Surveillance | Louisville News

Shively police arrested one of their own, Officer Asad Zahir, for allegedly conducting 2,000 unauthorized searches using Flock cameras to track a woman he had a past relationship with — all flagged by Flock’s own AI tool. His access was instantly revoked after the audit detected repeated searches tied to two license plates registered to her. Now facing charges including official misconduct and unlawful computer access, Zahir has been suspended without pay while investigations continue. Authorities say this underscores accountability, though some residents debate whether surveillance tech should be used at all — praising its crime-fighting potential while fearing abuse. Investigators also allege harassment and threats from Zahir toward the woman in Indiana. The department is reviewing policies and pledging transparency as they hold officers to account. Zahir’s court date is August 28th. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
