A small business owner in Georgia sued Flock and the Coweta County Sheriff's Office over alleged retaliation using license plate cameras. The lawsuit alleges illegal license plate tracking searches over many months without probable cause and unrelated to any specific investigation. Murkerson's saga began in February 2023 when he was arrested by sheriff's deputies over an alleged seatbelt violation; those charges were dropped months later. In September 2024, Murkerson sued the department, accusing them of excessive force. The case was only recently settled. Hall & Lampros, attorneys for plaintiff Tyler Murkerson, wrote in a press release.
