"Cop Fired for Letting Her ICE Agent Husband Use Her Flock Login
Oct 18, 2026 at 11:06 AM
A Savannah, Georgia, police officer lost her job after giving her Flock login to her husband, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who used it to run hundreds of license plate searches on people his agency wanted to find. Former Savannah Police Department (SPD) officer Amber Harpe handed her username and password to Tyler Harpe because he had no Flock account through the Department of Homeland Security, according to internal records obtained by local news outlet WJCL. Savannah police don’t share their Flock data with ICE.
The case is a clear example of one of Flock critics’ longstanding fears: federal immigration agents getting into local camera networks without any formal agreement. It also extends a long run of stories about police misusing Flock’s automated license plate readers (ALPRs), and Georgia has supplied more than its share of those incidents. In recent months, police employees in Savannah, Milton, Augusta, and Coweta County have been fired, arrested, and even sued over how they used the system."
