Morrow And Ferrer 6 RCSO Deputies Arrested Over Flock Cameras
The short version: Two Richmond County, GA deputies were fired and charged with felonies for running personal Flock plate searches, part of a wider statewide abuse pattern, per YouTuber OhDangReally.
Our Take
Credit to OhDangReally for tracking this one down, because it's exactly the story Flock Safety and local police departments would rather you not connect to a pattern. Investigator Sean Morrow and Deputy Jose Ferrer didn't get caught by some outside watchdog — their own department's internal investigators flagged the searches, which tells you the audit trail exists. The question is who's actually checking it in the thousands of agencies that haven't had a scandal yet.
That's the real story buried in the "a dozen officers, 8 agencies, under two months" line. Georgia isn't uniquely corrupt — it's just a state where someone's been paying attention. Every jurisdiction running Flock has the same technical capability for a deputy to look up an ex, a neighbor, or a rival with zero case number attached. Firing people after the fact is accountability theater if the system that let it happen for however long stays exactly the same.
Flock's entire pitch rests on the promise that these searches are logged, justified, and reviewable. Fine — so where are the public audits for the department near you? Check our camera map to see what's already watching your plate, and head to take action if you want your city council asking the questions Richmond County only answered after the damage was done.
