- 1:05Speaker 1: I'll give him a shot. Okay.
- 1:07Speaker 2: See, Christopher Goodson was abusing his power as a police officer,
- 1:10Speaker 2: and he was using flock cameras to track his estranged
- 1:13Speaker 2: ex wife while on and off duty. Okay, you have
- 1:17Speaker 2: to hear his story to believe it. Let's go to
- 1:19Speaker 2: ten Tampa Bay News for the report.
- 1:20Speaker 4: Police denied to Haines City police officers facing charges after
- 1:24Speaker 4: investigators say he misused flop cameras to track his estranged wife.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Court documents say officer Christopher Goodson search for his wife's
- 1:32Speaker 4: license plate seven hundred and seventeen times on the flock
- 1:36Speaker 4: camera system between September twenty twenty four and June of
- 1:39Speaker 4: this year. Investigators say there was no criminal investigation involving
- 1:43Speaker 4: this a strange wife or her vehicle. Goodson is charged
- 1:46Speaker 4: with computer related defenses at official misconduct. He was placed
- 1:50Speaker 4: on the administrative leave while the department investigated. Haines City
- 1:53Speaker 4: Police say he is expected to resign and was not
- 1:56Speaker 4: fired by the department. Haines City Police Chief isac Action
- 2:00Speaker 4: released a statement here about the investigation, saying, in part quote,
- 2:04Speaker 4: the Haynes City Police Department does not tolerate the misuse,
- 2:07Speaker 4: unauthorized access, or personal use of any investigative databases or
- 2:11Speaker 4: law enforcement information systems. These resources are provided for legitimate
- 2:17Speaker 4: official purposes only and must be used responsibly.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Christopher, you put your ex wife's license plate number into
- 2:25Speaker 2: the Flock database seven hundred and seventeen times in the
- 2:29Speaker 2: span of almost two years.
- 2:31Speaker 1: There's only three hundred and sixty five days in a year. Okay.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Three hundred and sixty five times two is seven thirty.
- 2:36Speaker 2: That means you were searching this woman's license plate number
- 2:38Speaker 2: every day, sometimes a few times a day, sir. Okay,
- 2:42Speaker 2: that's your ex wife, and if she left you, all
- 2:45Speaker 2: you are doing right now is proven that she made
- 2:47Speaker 2: the right decision.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:48Speaker 2: This is why I try not to blame technology for problems,
- 2:51Speaker 2: because technology doesn't abuse power. People abuse power through technology,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and Christopher Goodson is a perfect example of what happens
- 2:59Speaker 2: when somebody's personal obsession gets access the institutional power. Okay,
- 3:04Speaker 2: this man used flock license plate reading cameras to track
- 3:08Speaker 2: his estranged wife's vehicle seven hundred and seventeen times. Heamn, sir,
- 3:14Speaker 2: you are not checking on her. You have turned heartbreak
- 3:17Speaker 2: into a surveillance operation. Okay, you can't keep those kinds
- 3:20Speaker 2: of tabs on that Boom boom, it's over.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Okay, time to move on now, all right.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Christopher reportedly told his supervisor that he was tracking the
- 3:28Speaker 2: vehicle because he wanted to know where his kids were
- 3:31Speaker 2: when they were.
- 3:31Speaker 1: With their mother. You can't just ask her and take
- 3:35Speaker 1: her word for it.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know how old the kids are, but
- 3:37Speaker 2: you can't just talk to the kids and ask them
- 3:39Speaker 2: where they were today with their mother. Like this is
- 3:41Speaker 2: completely unnecessary because investigators say his estranged wife, as you
- 3:45Speaker 2: just heard in the news report, wasn't involved in any
- 3:47Speaker 2: criminal investigation, her vehicle wasn't connected to a crime, and
- 3:51Speaker 2: according to the affidavit, Christopher allegedly entered reasons for the
- 3:54Speaker 2: searches including road rage, reckless driving, drugs, theft, fleeing police,
- 4:01Speaker 2: and assaultant battery offenses. He painted this woman as a
- 4:04Speaker 2: city girl all because she was apparently somewhere he didn't
- 4:08Speaker 2: know about. And that's what bothers me about this story.
- 4:11Speaker 2: This man made this woman something she wasn't because he
- 4:14Speaker 2: couldn't let go abusive power.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Okay.
- 4:18Speaker 2: This isn't simply about a man who couldn't let go
- 4:20Speaker 2: of as a scrange wife. This is about what happens
- 4:22Speaker 2: when somebody who can't let go has access to tools
- 4:25Speaker 2: the rest of us don't have. See regular toxic people
- 4:27Speaker 2: they stock the Instagram, okay, regular toxic people.
- 4:30Speaker 1: They watch stories from burna accounts.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Regular toxic people have to drive past the house pretending
- 4:36Speaker 2: they were just in the neighborhood.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Okay.
- 4:38Speaker 2: But an allegedly toxic police officer can potentially sit down
- 4:42Speaker 2: with government technology and ruin your day, okay, ruin your
- 4:47Speaker 2: life if he wanted to. That's a different level of
- 4:49Speaker 2: toxic Okay. And that's why you can't have these hurt
- 4:53Speaker 2: petty people in.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Positions of power. Okay.
- 4:56Speaker 2: America has people in positions of power who are weaponizing
- 5:00Speaker 2: these agencies, these institutions just technology against everyday people who
- 5:05Speaker 2: are just trying to live their life. And the real
- 5:07Speaker 2: test of a system isn't whether good people can use
- 5:09Speaker 2: it responsibly. The real test is how difficult the system
- 5:13Speaker 2: makes it for a bad actor like Christopher Goodson to
- 5:16Speaker 2: abuse it. Okay, we know flock cameras can be absolutely useful.
- 5:19Speaker 2: They read license plates and they help law enforcement locate
- 5:22Speaker 2: vehicles connected to crimes and missing people and suspects.
- 5:26Speaker 1: But you do have a bunch of officers abusing them. Okay.
- 5:29Speaker 2: There have been a growing series of allegations involving law
- 5:34Speaker 2: enforcement officers misusing the license plate reader systems for personal reasons.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I read a report that says more than fifty offices
- 5:41Speaker 2: nationwide have been accused of misusing flock are similar systems,
- 5:45Speaker 2: and Flock has announced strongest safeguards, including mandatory case numbers
- 5:50Speaker 2: and automated review designed to flag abnormal searches that tells
- 5:55Speaker 2: you everything you need to know when the company that
- 5:57Speaker 2: built the serveilance technology starts, you know, so strengthening safeguards
- 6:01Speaker 2: because people keep allegedly abusing the surveillance technology that lets
- 6:05Speaker 2: you know what the problem is. Okay, but let's talk
- 6:08Speaker 2: about Christop for a minute. Let's talk about Christopher for
- 6:10Speaker 2: a minute, because this is the teachable moment. When somebody
- 6:13Speaker 2: decides to leave your life, you have to let them leave.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:17Speaker 2: A badge can give you access to information, but it
- 6:19Speaker 2: cannot give you access to a person who no.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Longer wants you in their life. Our poom poom. Okay.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Sometimes the hardest form of discipline isn't holding on, it's accepting.
- 6:30Speaker 1: That it's over. Okay, learn how to let people go.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Rejection doesn't become less of a rejection just because you
- 6:35Speaker 2: refuse to accept it. And when you use your power
- 6:38Speaker 2: your position are technology to keep tabs on somebody who
- 6:42Speaker 2: has already chosen distance. That's not love, that's entitlment. Okay,
- 6:47Speaker 2: you're not fighting for the relationship anymore. You're fighting against
- 6:50Speaker 2: somebody else's right to be done. Technology doesn't create obsession,
- 6:56Speaker 2: It gives obsession better tools. That's why people entrusted with surveillance,
- 7:00Speaker 2: technology and power have to be held to an incredibly
- 7:03Speaker 2: high standard.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Okay.
- 7:05Speaker 2: The scary part isn't simply that somebody allegedly couldn't let go.
- 7:09Speaker 2: It's that he allegedly had a system available that could
- 7:12Speaker 2: turn his inability to let go into the ability to
- 7:17Speaker 2: hold on and keep watching. Please give Christopher Goodson the
- 7:21Speaker 2: sweet Sounds and the Hamiltons.
- 7:22Speaker 5: You are the donkey. You the donkey.
- 7:40Speaker 1: He right there right, that's original, that's the original.
- 7:45Speaker 2: All I could think of is, man, how you were
- 7:48Speaker 2: to ruined Rome's life with that type of technology.
- 7:50Speaker 3: Especially back in the day. You already know absolutely mm
- 7:56Speaker 3: when when when special agents use that something? Cause remember
- 7:58Speaker 3: on Power Angela about that and especially Greg Knox did
- 8:02Speaker 3: that too. She clone ghoest phone and you know what
