Former Officer Accused of Misusing Flock System | Wilmington News
Description
A former Wrightsville Beach police officer, Tonya Baker, faces charges for allegedly misusing Flock license plate reader systems to gather data on two vehicles between February and May — despite the town’s own cameras not going live until March. Arrested in September with a $500 bond, Baker was fired the same day her indictment dropped, following an internal audit that triggered a State Bureau of Investigation probe. Though New Hanover County had canceled its Flock contract just days before her arrest, prosecutors say she accessed their system. A class one misdemeanor could land her up to 120 days in jail if convicted — raising urgent questions about accountability in law enforcement tech.
