's kind of funny that you'll talk about police misconduct when there's no police present, but then when they are present you don't bring it up. 

The speaker later called on the city to remove the Flock cameras and terminate the city's contract with the company.

During public comment, the same speaker was escorted out of the council chambers by Pasadena police officers after using profanity. As officers escorted the person from the meeting, the individual could be heard saying,  Get off of me.  But the commotion wasn't visible in a recording.

Background on the investigation

Last week, KPRC 2 reported that Pasadena police Sgt. Michael Palitz resigned from the department while he remained under an active internal investigation, according to the Pasadena Police Department.

The resignation came after Pasadena City Council Member Emmanuel Guerrero told KPRC 2 he believes the investigation centered on allegations that Palitz improperly accessed the city's Flock Safety license plate reader camera system to monitor another officer.

 Based on what we gathered, [he] was using our camera system, our Flock system, to track and stalk a female officer,  Guerrero previously told KPRC 2.

KPRC 2 has not independently verified the specific allegations discussed by Guerrero, and Pasadena police have not publicly released details of the investigation.

In a statement to KPRC 2 earlier this month, the Pasadena Police Department confirmed Palitz resigned while the internal investigation remained active.

 Yes, he resigned while under investigation,  Pasadena Police Sgt. April Ontiveros, with the Administration   Media Relations Unit, said in a statement.  Regardless of his employment status, our investigation will continue in accordance with legal requirements until it reaches its conclusion. Additionally, our department does not release information on open/active personnel investigations to protect the integrity of the investigation. 

The department has not publicly disclosed the nature of the investigation, and KPRC 2 is not aware of any open criminal investigation or whether any case has been presented to the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

As of publication, KPRC 2 is not aware of any information demonstrating that Palitz has been implicated in or disciplined for professional misconduct associated with use of the Flock cameras.
