Michael Rogers, Jonathan Schultz, Cassandra Crawley, Matthew Binford and Abigail Cramer, Indianapolis police officers, face felony and misdemeanor charges over alleged personal use of the department’s license-plate readers, including tracking women, court records say.
The department identified potential misuse and referred the matter to Marion County prosecutors. Court records allege Jonathan Schultz used the agency’s 300 Flock cameras to track several women, including his ex-wife. In a separate gym-related incident, he allegedly searched one woman’s plate more than 170 times over three months and left a note on her vehicle. The other officers are accused of personal use of the system; one allegedly tracked his ex-wife.
Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said the alleged conduct was a gross misuse of the technology and undermined public trust. IMPD Chief Tanya Terry said the actions went beyond policy violations and crossed into criminal conduct. Lawyers for the officers were not immediately available, and Flock did not respond to ABC News’ request for comment.
