North Carolina Officer Allegedly Used Flock License Plate Cameras to Track Boyfriend's Ex-Wife: Police Chief
Elizabeth Anne Snowman faces a felony charge after warrants said she used a Flock camera database for non-law-enforcement purposes.
- On Wednesday, Mooresville Police Department officer Elizabeth Anne Snowman was arrested and charged with misdemeanor accessing computers after allegedly misusing the Flock license plate reader database to track her boyfriend's ex-wife.
- Mooresville Police Chief Ron Campurciani revealed the department uncovered the misuse during an internal audit, noting Snowman accessed the system 31 times, 29 of which occurred while she was on duty.
- Snowman was released on a $5,000 bond following her arrest, with a court appearance scheduled for August 27, marking the second similar charge against a local officer in recent weeks.
- Campurciani stated at least 10 other officers are under investigation for potential Flock misuse; the department now requires officers to input a case number for every database search to prevent future incidents.
- While police view license plate readers as essential tools, Ivy Johnson with the ACLU of North Carolina warned the technology poses constitutional concerns by allowing law enforcement to indiscriminately track individuals without a warrant.
