A second Charlotte-area police officer has just been arrested over the misuse of Flock AI surveillance cameras, raising new concerns about how the rapidly expanding surveillance network is being accessed by law enforcement.
According to Iredell County court records, Elizabeth Anne Snowman, 36, has been fired by the Mooresville Police Department and charged with misdemeanor computer access after allegedly using the Flock database without authorization to obtain information about a person’s vehicle.
Investigators say the search was unrelated to Snowman’s official law enforcement duties and violated North Carolina’s law governing unauthorized computer access.
The alleged offense occurred on Aug. 5 in Iredell County. Court records state Snowman accessed the Flock system to retrieve vehicle information for reasons unrelated to an active investigation. Authorities have not identified the vehicle owner or disclosed what information was accessed.
Snowman’s bond was set at $5,000 secured, and the Mooresville Police Department confirmed she has been terminated.
The arrest comes just days after Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Seth Elliott was arrested on similar allegations. Prosecutors say Elliott improperly shared information obtained through the Flock camera system with the target of a drug investigation.
The two cases have intensified scrutiny of Flock’s AI powered surveillance network, which has been expanding rapidly across the Charlotte region.
