Officer Misuses ALPR to Track Ex-Wife | Durham News
Description
A North Carolina police officer allegedly abused Flock license plate readers to track her boyfriend’s ex-wife over 30 times, even off-duty, fabricating traffic violations as cover-ups. The scandal has sparked national debate on ALPR privacy, accountability, and misuse — with activists calling for a National Week of Action Against ALPRs and cameras being vandalized across the country. In response, Mooresville PD is enforcing stricter rules: every camera search now requires a tied case number to prevent abuse, aiming to balance public safety tech with ethical use.
