Police Officer Caught Following Woman After License‑Plate Reader Surveillance

Footage released by 404media shows a police officer trailing a woman he previously met on a TV set. The officer used a license‑plate reader to locate the woman’s vehicle. After identifying the car, the officer followed the woman for an extended period. The video raises questions about the use of automated surveillance tools by law enforcement. Critics argue the behavior borders on stalking and infringes on privacy rights. The incident occurred in a city where license‑plate readers have been widely deployed. No official comment has been issued by the police department involved. Civil liberties groups are calling for clearer guidelines on LPR usage.
