Texas Family Held at Gunpoint by Frisco Police Due to License Plate Typo

TL;DR Summary
Police in Frisco, Texas, held an Arkansas family at gunpoint and handcuffed their young son during a traffic stop after an officer's typo led them to believe the family's car was stolen. The officer incorrectly entered the license plate's state as Arizona instead of Arkansas, prompting a "high-risk traffic stop" where officers drew their guns. Despite the woman repeatedly stating that they owned the car and correcting the officer, the son was handcuffed. It took over 15 minutes for the police to realize the mistake, apologize, and release the family. The incident has left the family traumatized, and an investigation is underway.
