佛罗里达州皮尼拉斯县一名县副警长因涉嫌滥用车牌识别摄像头追踪分居妻子，于11月5日上午被捕，案件于11月6日由坦帕湾地区媒体披露。
皮尼拉斯县警长办公室副警长 Ronald Scott 被指利用警用 Flock 车牌识别摄像头系统，查询分居妻子及其男友的行踪。据通报，Scott 自今年情人节起，累计查询二人的行踪超过100次。Flock 摄像头遍布坦帕湾地区道路，可自动记录过往车辆的车牌与位置，本应用于执法办案。

Pinellas County Deputy Arrested November 5, Accused of Using License Plate Cameras to Track Estranged Wife
PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A Pinellas County sheriff's deputy was arrested on the morning of November 5 on accusations that he misused license plate reader cameras to track his estranged wife; the case was reported by Tampa Bay media on November 6.
Deputy Ronald Scott is accused of using the law enforcement Flock license plate reader system to look up the movements of his estranged wife and her boyfriend. According to officials, Scott ran searches on the two more than 100 times beginning around Valentine's Day this year. Flock cameras across the Tampa Bay area automatically record the plates and locations of passing vehicles and are intended for law enforcement work.
The sheriff's office arrested Scott after discovering the alleged personal use of the system. Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said the problem lay in how the technology was used, not in the technology itself. The office said the case will be handled according to law and that the deputy's duty status will be announced later.
