But misuse is rampant, a Washington Post report this month found. Authorities have charged or accused at least 50 law-enforcement officers of using license-plate readers for unauthorized purposes, including to stalk their exes.

Friends, don't date cops. They don't deserve love if they are still a cop after Trump took office.

Cops don't deserve love period. Anyone who's willing to let their sense of "justice" override their humanity is undeserving of love or life.

Unless maybe collecting evidence against in some way. Then turn in/report, enjoy your fam's vacation time due to the resulting paid administrative leave during "investigation".

Or public servant's closest secrets being made public. Fuck the cop.

It's how you know women are a lost cause, cops ever get laid.
