Officer Accused of Using Flock Cameras for Revenge | Providence News
Description
A New Bedford police officer is under fire after allegedly using Flock license plate cameras to track her ex-girlfriend, sparking over 200 searches in one month. The officer, Emily Pacheco, is on leave and facing an internal investigation for violating department policy — including showing up at the ex’s home in her cruiser and allegedly creating fake numbers to harass her. The ex has filed for a restraining order and surrendered her firearms, citing fear for her safety. The city has paused all Flock camera use while officials investigate. Pacheco’s court hearing this Thursday will focus on extending the abuse prevention order — and whether this scandal could reshape how law enforcement uses surveillance tech.
