Shively police officer accused of using Flock camera data to track woman across Kentucky and Indiana

A Shively Police officer is facing multiple charges after authorities alleged the officer misused Flock camera database systems to track a woman’s movements across Kentucky and Indiana over a roughly five-month period, according to a report from WAVE.

The allegations center on what investigators described as unauthorized use of Flock camera technology and associated databases to obtain information about the woman’s location, WAVE reported. Investigators said the conduct involved repeated tracking activity rather than a single instance.

WAVE reported that the case involves authorities in both Kentucky and Indiana, reflecting the scope of the alleged tracking across state lines. The reporting describes the accusations as spanning approximately five months, a timeframe that investigators said included multiple observations of the woman’s movements.

As the case proceeds, the officer’s criminal exposure will be determined in court. Under Kentucky procedure, a defendant in a pending criminal matter typically remains presumed innocent unless and until the charges are proven, and the prosecution must establish the elements of each offense beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

The allegations also raise questions about access controls and oversight for law enforcement technology. When agencies allow personnel to access large datasets, disputes over who accessed what, when, and for what purpose can become central issues, particularly when the accused conduct is alleged to be unrelated to a lawful investigation or to exceed authorized use.

Public attention is likely to focus on how the alleged tracking was discovered and documented, including whether investigators relied on audit logs, data access records, or other digital evidence tied to the Flock systems. Those records are often key in cases involving alleged misuse of monitoring technology.

For residents of Shively and the broader region, the case also highlights public safety and privacy concerns tied to modern surveillance tools. If allegations are substantiated, the outcome could lead to further legal consequences for the officer and potential policy reviews within law enforcement agencies about data governance and acceptable use.
