404 Media: a DEA agent used a local police officer's Flock login — without that officer's knowledge — to search for someone suspected of an immigration violation.
Why it is in the file
The password-sharing / federal-side-door fact pattern. If a city says 'we don't share with ICE,' ask how logins are actually controlled.
A DEA agent used a local police officer’s password to the Flock automated license plate reader system to search for someone suspected of an “immigration violation.” That DEA agent did this “without [the local police officer’s] knowledge.”
