A Florida police officer is facing serious charges after allegedly using sophisticated surveillance technology for personal reasons. The officer was arrested for misusing Flock surveillance cameras, a system designed for public safety, to track his estranged wife.
The incident has sparked concerns about the ethical implications and potential for abuse of advanced surveillance tools.
