萨凡纳警官安珀·哈普(Amber Harpe)因与身为移民及海关执法局(ICE)探员的丈夫分享其Flock系统访问权限而被解雇。

SPD officer Amber Harpe was fired for sharing her Flock access with her ICE agent husband.

萨凡纳警局(SPD)并不与ICE共享其Flock数据,并表示共享系统访问权限违反了该部门的安全协议。

SPD does not share its Flock data with ICE and said sharing access to the system violated the department’s security protocols.

据萨凡纳当地ABC附属电视台WJCL报道,泰勒·哈普(Tyler Harpe)在未经授权访问该系统期间,针对97个车牌进行了983次搜索,其中绝大多数车牌属于西班牙裔驾驶员。哈普夫妇为自己的行为辩护称,他们并未出于个人原因使用该权限,且这些搜索纯粹是出于“执法目的”。

While he had unauthorized access to the system, Tyler Harpe conducted 983 searches related to 97 license plates, which were overwhelmingly registered to Hispanic drivers, according to Savannah’s local ABC affiliate, WJCL. The Harpes defended their actions, saying they didn’t use access for personal reasons and that the searches were strictly for “law-enforcement purposes.”

临时少校马克斯·诺温斯基(Max Nowinsky)最初建议对哈普处以八小时的轻微停职处分。然而,米歇尔·霍尔福德(Michelle Halford)少校和助理警察局长罗伯特·加文(Robert Gavin)对此表示反对,并将她从警队除名。在一项内部调查揭露Flock滥用行为后,哈普与其他五名SPD员工一同被解雇。其中四人随后被捕,但哈普不在其列。

Interim Major Max Nowinsky originally recommended a light eight-hour suspension for Harpe. However, Major Michelle Halford and Assistant Police Chief Robert Gavin disagreed, and they removed her from the force. Harpe was fired, along with five other SPD employees, after an internal investigation uncovered Flock misuse. Four of them were later arrested; however, Harpe was not one of them.
