Georgia Police Chief Used Camera Network to Track Ex-Girlfriend 15 Miles Away

Summary
Texts from 2024 show a Georgia police chief repeatedly knew Marci Bakely’s whereabouts within minutes, including trips to groceries, dates and doctor visits in Jefferson.
Bakely said her ex-boyfriend tracked her after she left him, and one message read, “I didn’t think you would slip up,” when he wrongly suspected she had gone to see another man.
The case centers on how officers can exploit a vast policing-camera network for personal surveillance, using tools meant for law enforcement to monitor ex-partners instead.
