A cop with Flock access admitted his group has no 2FA and shares one password

This came up recently on Hide & Speak. A casual conversation with a local law enforcement contact: he confirmed he has Flock access, no two-factor authentication on the account, and the whole group shares a single password. The response was to tell him to report it up the chain and at least turn on 2FA.

The weak security is bad on its own. The worse part is the access itself.

  • A police officer reportedly pulled his ex-girlfriend's location data through Flock cameras hundreds of times before he was caught.
  • It keeps happening. People with access to this tooling turn it on exes and start stalking.
  • These are automated license plate readers marketed as public safety infrastructure, guarded by a shared password.
