TEMPLE, Texas (KWTX) - A Temple police officer has resigned following an internal investigation into the unauthorized use of the department's automatic license plate reader (ALPR) system, officials announced.

A subsequent review by the department's Internal Affairs Unit determined the search was conducted without a legitimate law enforcement purpose.
