A Georgia police officer used an automatic license plate reader system to track the movements of his ex-partner, a fellow officer, by searching her vehicle's license plate 56 times over a three-month period. When he noticed another officer's vehicle frequently appeared near hers, he began searching that officer's plate 29 times as well. The misuse occurred after their workplace relationship ended, and the officer was investigated, placed on paid leave, and resigned, with a criminal investigation ongoing. This incident is one of at least 45 documented cases in which police officers have misused this tracking technology to monitor current or former romantic partners.
