Police Investigator Accused of Making Over 4,000 Illegal Flock Camera Searches
"It literally breaks my heart." The post Police Investigator Accused of Making Over 4,000 Illegal Flock Camera Searches appeared first on Futurism .
New York's Albany County Sheriff's Office has arrested a senior investigator, Laurie Moore, for allegedly conducting over 4,000 illegal searches using Flock Safety's software. According to NEWS10, Moore queried five different license plates thousands of times each, with her ex-girlfriend's plate being searched 3,000 times. She is currently facing charges of official misconduct and second-degree falsifying business records, both misdemeanors.
Moore's arrest comes on the heels of similar misconduct cases involving police abuse of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) across the United States. In response to Moore's arrest, the Sheriff's office revoked access to the Flock software for non-supervisory staff and updated protocols requiring monthly audits by Internal Affairs staff.
The incident marks the latest in a growing number of cases revealing the misuse of ALPR systems by law enforcement.
