Former Savannah police officer Amber Harpe was fired after sharing her Flock login with her husband, ICE agent Tyler Harpe, who conducted 983 searches on 97 license plates. The incident occurred in August 2026, and the Flock system explicitly prohibits sharing access with law enforcement agencies. The Harpes claimed the searches were not for personal reasons, though the system's security protocols were violated. The article notes the searches targeted Hispanic drivers but does not specify the nature of the searches or the outcome of the investigation.
