Georgia Deputy Fired for Misusing License Plate Reader
8 Jul
Summary
- A sheriff's deputy was fired after misusing the county's license plate reader system.
- An audit found the deputy accessed the system for personal reasons over three months.
- This follows similar misuse cases involving police officers in Georgia.
A former Greene County sheriff's deputy, Quinsha Goss, was fired and arrested after an audit uncovered her misuse of the county's License Plate Reader (LPR) system. Authorities state Goss accessed the system for personal reasons over a three-month span, conducting searches without proper law enforcement justification.
Goss faces charges of violating her oath of office and illegally retaining license plate data. Her termination and arrest occurred just days after five Albany police officers were arrested and fired for similar misuse of their city's Flock Safety System.
This pattern of misuse is also reflected in Cherokee County, where two supervisors were charged and dismissed in June for alleged violations involving their county's system. The investigation into Goss's actions remains active.
