I guarantee that number is waaaaaaay higher. They openly talk about misusing their other database tools for that all the time

It definitely transpires in the article ("An Institute for Justice review of media reports has identified at least 14 cases nationwide"), and assumes it's when the causes for termination are disclosed. And damn, how the providers state they have safeguards to prevent that and yet, most of the cases where discovered by the victims, not the safeguards (what a surprise eh).

Anyway, for the United States fellows out here : https://haveibeenflocked.com/

Why do cops have romantic interests? No one should ever date a cop.

That's just the media softwashed way to describe the pigs' stalking victims.

It doesn't specify requited interests.

Some can't resist a uniform.

If you resist they get violent.

Man, I bet that number is way low. The pigs have been using law enforcement resources to stalk women for fucking decades. These cameras are just another tool they shouldn't have in the first place that they will abuse for their own disgusting personal purposes.

What a weird way to say potential victims of sexual assault. Romantic interests, sheez
