  "account": "A Georgia police officer named Dustin Bozzo used a surveillance tool called Flock 56 times between March and May to track the license plates of two individuals: his ex-girlfriend, who was also a fellow police officer, and a friend of his ex. Bozzo's actions came to light after an internal investigation, resulting in his resignation from the Alpharetta Police Department on August 5. The investigation into the misuse of Flock is ongoing.\n\nBozzo and his ex-girlfriend had a romantic relationship that violated the city's policy on workplace dating. They reportedly spent personal time together while on duty and were not fulfilling their assigned responsibilities. The relationship reportedly lasted for about a month, though the exact duration is unclear. Bozzo claimed he was searching for his ex-girlfriend's vehicle to ensure her safety, as she often drove late at night. However, his actions quickly escalated into a serious offense, demonstrating how the misuse of Flock can have serious consequences.",
  "summary": "After an affair with a fellow police officer ended, a Georgia cop used Flock to track her movements—and those of a man whose vehicle often showed up near hers, internal investigation records show.",
