Albany County Investigator Charged with Over 4,000 Unauthorized License Plate Reader Searches, Reigniting Privacy Debate

An Albany County sheriff’s investigator, Senior Investigator Laurie Moore, has been accused of conducting more than 4,000 unauthorized searches using a Flock Safety license plate reader system. Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple stated that Moore allegedly used the system to track individuals she knew, including a former girlfriend. Moore, a 13-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, faces charges of official misconduct and falsifying business records, both misdemeanors. Sheriff Apple expressed regret over the breach of trust.

Ramsey County Attorney's Office Clears St. Paul Police Officers in I-94 Shooting Incident

Ramsey County Attorney's Office Clears St. Paul Police Officers in I-94 Shooting Incident

The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office has announced that no criminal charges will be filed against St. Paul police officers Matthew Foy and Byron Treangen III. The decision comes after an investigation into their use of force during a December 21 incident where they shot Elliot Samuels Vaughn on an Interstate 94 ramp. Vaughn, suspected of car theft, fled from officers and reportedly pointed a gun at them. The incident was captured on squad and body cameras, which prosecutors cited as clear evidence supporting the officers' statements and justifying their use of deadly force. Vaughn was hit in the right thigh and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He has since been charged with first-degree assault against a peace officer, second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, and theft of a motor vehicle, with his jury trial scheduled to begin soon. County Attorney John Choi affirmed his agreement with the office's determination.
