Former Joplin police officer Kenneth Andersen waived his arraignment today and entered a not guilty plea in Jasper County Circuit Court to four misdemeanor counts of misuse of official information by a public servant.
Andersen was allegedly using the city's Flock cameras to run checks on the license plates of two of his girlfriends and the current boyfriend of one of the two women.
Andersen's arraignment had been scheduled for September 30.
When any Police Officer, or City, or County, or State Government Official holds an Office of Authority and they Violate the Citizens Trust and Break the Laws - They should be held accountable and punished to the fullest extent of the Law!
ReplyDeleteWhat was the reason this Joplin clown gave for his FLOCK searches?
ReplyDeleteIDK?
LMAO?
IDGAF?
"An EFF analysis of ALPR search logs from Flock Safety systems shows that officers across the country are spying on drivers for completely nonsensical “reasons.” Police are routinely searching the Flock database without providing any legitimate justification, making a mockery of our civil liberties by logging reasons like “LOL” (short for “laugh out loud”), “LMAO” (short for “laughing my ass off”), “sexy,” and “idk” (short for “I don’t know”) to access sensitive ALPR location data".
And in some cases, officers are just mashing keyboard buttons rather than articulating the nature of their searches."
