A Mooresville, North Carolina, police officer was arrested after an internal audit revealed she repeatedly accessed the department’s Flock license plate reader camera system for personal reasons. Officer Elizabeth Anne Snowman, 36, faces a misdemeanor charge of accessing computers. Authorities said she used the system 31 times to obtain information about and track the movements of her boyfriend’s ex-wife.

Police Chief Ron Campurciani announced the findings during a news conference. He stated that Elizabeth Anne Snowman accessed the Flock Safety cameras both while on duty and off duty, with at least two of the searches occurring when she was not working. Department policy requires officers to enter a reason for every query of the license plate reader database. Investigators allege Snowman provided false justifications, listing 29 of the searches as motor vehicle infractions and the remaining two as related to burglary or robbery.
The misuse came to light during a routine audit of the department’s Flock system, which the agency conducts every 30 days. When questioned, Snowman denied using the system for personal purposes, according to investigators. She was arrested on August 5, 2026, while reporting for duty and taken to the Iredell County Detention Center. She later posted a $5,000 secured bond and was released. Her next court date is scheduled for August 27.
Snowman joined the Mooresville Police Department in January 2025. A separate human-resources investigation will determine her employment status with the agency. Chief Campurciani expressed frustration over the incident, describing it as “frustrating and aggravating” and acknowledging the public impact on trust in the technology and the department.
The Flock system consists of motion-activated cameras that capture license plate data, vehicle details, time, and location without continuous video recording. The information is stored in a searchable database intended strictly for legitimate law enforcement purposes. Officials noted that the same tools that help locate suspects or stolen vehicles can be misused when officers access them for private matters.
In response to the findings, the Mooresville Police Department is reviewing additional potential cases of improper Flock camera use. Chief Campurciani said approximately 10 other instances involving officers are under examination, with three described as problematic enough to warrant deeper scrutiny. He indicated the investigation is ongoing and that further action remains possible.
New internal safeguards have already been implemented. Officers must now provide a specific case number when querying the system. Flock Safety, the company that provides the technology, issued a statement calling any misuse unacceptable and noting that its audit tools help identify improper access when it occurs.
The case has drawn attention amid broader national discussions about the use of automated license plate readers by law enforcement. Similar allegations of unauthorized access have surfaced in other jurisdictions. Mooresville officials emphasized that while the cameras serve as a useful investigative tool, strict adherence to policy is required to maintain public confidence and protect against personal misuse of the system.
