Some police officers in Michigan are allegedly abusing confidential law enforcement databases.
According to a study by the Associated Press, more than 40 cases of database misuse resulted in discipline between 2013 and 2015 in Michigan.
The study used records requests from all 50 states and found many police officers across the country misuse confidential law enforcement databases to get information on romantic partners, business associates, neighbors, journalists, and others for reasons that have nothing to do with daily police work.
