Flock camera searches

Flock cameras collect vehicle information that police can search as part of an investigation. In this case, the searches themselves are under review. The available account does not identify the vehicles, cases or search terms involved.

The development raises questions about how the searches were conducted and whether department rules were followed. Those questions remain part of the investigation.

What happens next

The investigation will determine what facts are established about the searches. Michigan City police or another responsible authority may provide additional information as the review proceeds.

A primary record connected to the Indiana Public Media report is not linked in the material available for this brief. The officer's name, the resignation date and the investigation's status were not identified.
