Sixth officer charged with misusing Flock cameras since the bill to defund them reached committee.

…(cont) October 23: a Georgetown, Indiana, police officer named Justin Craig is charged with official misconduct and two counts of fraud — the identical two statutes Indianapolis used a month earlier. Court records say he ran his wife's plate through Flock more than 80 times and a previous acquaintance's nearly 250 times. That is a sixth officer, a second department, filed nine days after the bill that would have cut Flock's federal funding entered committee, where it remains.

The planner lays the pieces on the table and admires how little had to be invented — the audit already existed inside the Indianapolis department, the fraud and misconduct statutes already existed in Indiana code, the prosecutors already knew how to file them. Every part of the response to this mess was sitting in a drawer before the mess happened twice.

The one part missing from the table is the part Tlaib already built: a bill that cuts federal funding to the exact systems that let an officer run a plate 250 times with no case attached to it. The muscle doesn't get to swing at anything yet; there's nothing to wreck until the bill moves. The pilot notes the runway is clear and empty: no hearing scheduled, no markup, no vote. The fix is parked where it was parked on October 14, nine days and one more officer ago.
