Savannah police officer fired after sharing Flock camera login with ICE agent husband

Former Savannah police officer Amber Harpe was fired in August after an investigation found she shared her Flock login with her husband, Tyler Harpe, an ICE agent. Savannah police said it does not share Flock data with ICE, and WJCL reported Tyler Harpe ran 983 searches tied to 97 license plates, overwhelmingly registered to Hispanic drivers.

For agencies using license plate reader systems, the reported 983 unauthorized searches show why access controls and audit logs matter as much as formal data-sharing policies. The practical trade-off is that broader account access may speed investigations, but weak credential controls can bypass agency limits; the article does not say what safeguards Flock or SPD had in place before the violation.
