SAN JOSE, Calif. \u2014 A San Jose Police officer was fired after sharing ALPR data with a relative who was a suspect in a domestic violence case, ABC 7 reported.<\/a> <\/p>\n

The officer reportedly used his personal phone to access the department\u2019s Flock<\/a> camera system. He then provided a vehicle location to his cousin, who was identified as a suspect in the case. <\/p>\n

The cousin then used the location information to track down his accuser in the domestic violence case. <\/p>\n

The officer was fired by the department and his case was submitted to California POST for a decertification investigation, ABC 7 reported. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen an officer violates the public\u2019s trust this severely, my responsibility is clear: that person cannot remain in a position of police authority, and they cannot wear the San Jose badge,\u201d Chief Paul Joseph stated. \u201cThis technology is new; the standard is not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the incident, the department has updated its policy to prohibit officers from accessing the ALPR system from personal devices. It has also started testing auditing tools to flag misuse. <\/p>\n

No charges have been filed in the case, ABC 7 reported. <\/p>\n
