Georgia cop tracks ex and friend via Flock app after affair ends

A Georgia police officer has come under scrutiny after internal investigation records revealed that, following the end of an affair with a fellow officer, he used the location‑tracking app Flock to monitor her movements. The records also show that the officer tracked a male vehicle that frequently appeared near the ex‑partner’s residence.

The investigation, conducted by the department’s internal affairs unit, found that the officer accessed Flock to obtain real‑time location data on both the former partner and the vehicle’s owner. The data were gathered without any apparent official justification and were not used in any documented law‑enforcement activity. The department has not yet released a statement on the matter.

The case raises questions about the use of personal tracking technology by law‑enforcement officers and the potential violation of privacy rights. Officials are expected to review the officer’s conduct and determine whether departmental policies or state law were breached.
