Event: August 20, 2026 · First reported: September 12, 2026 · 40 sources

The Town of Braselton, Georgia fired a police officer on Aug. 20 after an internal investigation found improper use of the town's Flock camera system during 2024 and 2025, according to the Braselton Police Department. Town officials referred the matter to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, whose review is ongoing. An audit of currently authorized town employees found no additional misuse, the department said. The officer has not been publicly named, and officials declined further comment while the GBI review is active.

Why this matters

The case illustrates that misuse of license plate reader systems can go undetected for extended periods absent routine auditing, and shows how one agency responded by tightening access controls after the fact.
