Flock camera errors lead to wrongful detentions and jail time
Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers are causing false alerts that lead to wrongful police stops and detentions. NBC News reports that five individuals were pulled over or jailed after the system incorrectly flagged their vehicles. One electrician was jailed for nearly two weeks after a false alert triggered a police response. The technology indiscriminately captures photos of passing cars, leading to errors that result in frightening encounters for innocent motorists.
