纽约奥尔巴尼警长办公室的一名长期成员周三被逮捕，此前调查人员说，他们发现她涉嫌使用群体相机跟踪她的前女友和其他熟人的车牌。
奥尔巴尼县警长克雷格·苹果（Craig Apple）周三在新闻发布会上说，47岁的劳里·摩尔（Laurie Moore）是警长办公室的高级调查员，被控两项轻罪，二级伪造商业记录和官员渎职，此前调查人员说，他们发现她跟踪了前女友的车牌近3000次和其他四次。
苹果公司表示，逮捕是“一记重击”，因为摩尔是一名在他的办公室工作了13年的老兵，也是“一名杰出的调查员”。
“公众对执法部门以及我们负责任地使用这些工具的能力寄予了极大的信任。这里发生的事情违背了这种信任，为此我真的很抱歉，”他说。
苹果公司表示，他的办公室周五从外部来源收到了一条线索，称摩尔正在使用Flock摄像头跟踪一位前熟人，内部调查立即开始。
他说，调查发现，据称她用摄像头跟踪前女友的车牌和其他四个熟人超过一年。据苹果公司称，这些所谓的搜查都不是警方调查的一部分。
苹果表示，该部门的协议要求所有调查人员说明他们为什么使用Flock摄像头来跟踪车牌。
“那里的一切都需要负责。它必须有一个案件编号，一个原因。他说：“她写这些是有‘原因’的，但这些都不是真的，都不是准确的原因。”。
据苹果公司称，摩尔已被无限期停职，等待调查，另一名指挥部工作人员被行政休假。他没有提供另一名休假成员的详细情况。
摩尔的律师信息没有立即公布。据警长办公室称，她被命令于9月24日出庭。
苹果公司表示，他的办公室已经改变了Flock摄像头的使用协议，禁止副手接触该技术，并要求更频繁的审计，以确保没有人滥用它。
摩尔被捕之际增加的呼叫随着越来越多的人要求警察局停止使用群体摄像头和其他车牌读取技术报告数量执法人员将技术用于非法目的。
苹果公司和奥尔巴尼地区检察官李·金德伦为他们使用群体摄像头辩护，认为这对于解决该市的重大犯罪至关重要。
“这是必要的工具。我们需要这个工具来打击邪恶，”他说。
Albany investigator arrested for allegedly using Flock camera to track ex-girlfriend： Sheriff
A longtime member of the Albany， New York， Sheriff＇s Office was arrested Wednesday after investigators said they discovered she allegedly used Flock cameras to track the license plates of her ex-girlfriend and other acquaintances．
Laurie Moore， 47， a senior investigator with the sheriff＇s office， was charged with two misdemeanors， second-degree falsifying business records and official misconduct， after investigators say they found she tracked her former girlfriend＇s plate nearly 3，000 times and four others， Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple said during a news conference Wednesday．
Apple said the arrest was ＂a gut punch，＂ because Moore was a 13-year veteran with his office and ＂an outstanding investigator．＂
＂The public places tremendous trust in law enforcement and in our ability to use these tools responsibly． What happened here is a breach of that trust， and for that I am truly sorry，＂ he said．
Apple said his office received a tip Friday from an outside source that Moore was using a Flock camera to track a former acquaintance， and an internal investigation began immediately．
The probe discovered that she allegedly used the cameras to track the former girlfriend＇s plate and four other acquaintances for over a year， he said． None of the alleged searches were done as part of any police investigation， according to Apple．
Apple said the department＇s protocol requires all investigators to state why they used the Flock cameras to track a license plate．
＂Everything in there needs to be accountable． It has to have a case number， a reason why． There were ＇reasons why＇ ［that］ she was putting in there， but they were not true， they were not accurate reasons，＂ he said．
Moore has been suspended indefinitely pending the investigation and another command staff member was placed on administrative leave， according to Apple． He did not provide details about the other member placed on leave．
Attorney information for Moore was not immediately available． She was ordered to appear in court on Sept． 24， according to the sheriff＇s office．
Apple said his office has changed the protocol for Flock camera use by prohibiting deputies from accessing the technology and requiring more frequent audits to ensure no one misuses it．
Moore＇s arrest comes amidincreased callsfor police offices to end the use of Flock cameras and other license plate reading technology following a growingnumber of reportsof law enforcement members using the tech for illicit purposes．
Apple and Albany District Attorney Lee Kindlon defended their use of Flock cameras， contending that it has been crucial to solving major crimes in the city．
＂It＇s a necessary tool． We need this tool to combat evil，＂ he said．
