recently fired for allegedly misusing

0:02

these controversial surveillance cameras

0:05

made by the company Flock.

0:07

>> We had about just under a dozen abuses

0:09

over the last 8 years that we had

0:11

detected. And so we also kind of know

0:12

what abuse looks like.

0:14

>> Mhm. Tell us what does abuse look like?

0:15

>> So here's a good example. Let's say

0:17

you're

0:18

an officer

0:19

and you say you're trying to stalk me.

0:22

You would look for me. You'd say I'm

0:23

looking for Garrett's car, it's ABC1234.

0:25

And you'd search for it and kind of

0:26

figure out where it is. And then the

0:27

next day you'd search for me again. And

0:29

then the next day you'd search for me

0:31

again. That's very abnormal.

0:33

If you were truly trying to find me

0:35

because I committed a crime, you would

0:36

have put my tag on a hot list so that

0:39

anyone else in the police department

0:41

would have been also notified cuz you

0:43

might be asleep, you might be off shift

0:45

because I'm a criminal. So everyone has

0:47

a right everyone's trying to find me. If

0:49

you're stalking me, you don't want

0:50

anyone else to know it's happening. And

0:51

so that's a maybe that's the easiest one

0:53

we can flag. And so you've seen the

0:54

headlines of the last few weeks. We've

0:56

caught a lot of bad cops.

0:58

>> And and

0:59

>> Yeah, and it's a ton for us, too.

1:01

>> Yeah.

1:01

>> Yeah, and it's it's a ton. It's it's

1:02

more than I ever would hoped. And so we

1:05

we now are requiring that as a

1:06

mandatory. It's not even a default, it's

1:08

a mandatory feature you have to have

1:10

turned on. We have to find these bad

1:12

cops and get rid of them.
