LiveNOW from FOX • • nation
Key Points:
- Mooresville Police Officer Elizabeth Snowman was arrested and charged with Accessing Computers for using the department's license plate reader (LPR) system to track her boyfriend’s ex-wife for personal reasons.
- An internal audit revealed Snowman accessed the Flock LPR database 31 times for non-official purposes, and she allegedly denied this use during the investigation.
- Police Chief Ron Campurciani stated Snowman accessed the cameras at least twice while off-duty, leading to her booking on a $5,000 bond.
- License plate readers, such as those made by Flock Safety, are widely used for crime prevention but face criticism from privacy advocates who argue they enable warrantless tracking of citizens and raise concerns about data storage and sharing.
