A former Indiana deputy, Skylar Thompson, is charged with a felony for allegedly using Flock automated license plate reader cameras to track his girlfriend, according to multiple reports. Prosecutors allege he searched thousands of times using his girlfriend’s license plate without authorization and then disguised the purpose of those searches.
Fox News reports Thompson allegedly ran more than 2,000 Flock camera searches tied to his girlfriend’s plate and falsely recorded them as city-planning-related work. The New York Post similarly reports that Thompson purportedly listed the searches under categories such as “city planning/traffic analysis,” even though he was not assigned duties connected to either activity. The accounts both focus on claims that internal records were used to mischaracterize the searches’ purpose and that the alleged conduct involves stalking-type behavior enabled by the camera system.
While the outlets share the same core allegations, they differ mainly in emphasis and phrasing—Fox highlights the number of searches and the false labeling, while the New York Post underscores the specific description used in the entries. Both describe the charge as felony-level misconduct.
