Two officers charged over unauthorized Flock camera use

The charges

Marisa Ciccola, identified as a former Itasca police officer, and Gerardo Solis, identified as a West Chicago officer, have been charged over the unauthorized use of Flock cameras.

Flock cameras are used by law enforcement agencies as part of automated vehicle-monitoring systems. The charge description links both officers to alleged use of that technology without authorization.

What the case involves

The case centers on access to or use of Flock cameras. The information publicly identified in the report does not establish the specific actions attributed to either officer, the exact criminal counts, or whether either defendant has entered a plea.

Ciccola’s former status with the Itasca Police Department and Solis’ connection to the West Chicago Police Department are part of the circumstances identified in the case.

Next steps

The criminal court process will determine the status of the charges. Court filings, hearings and any statements from the departments or the defendants could provide more detail about the allegations and the proceedings.

A charge is an accusation. It is not a finding of guilt.
