Flock had miss identified multiple vehicle plates as stolen or the owner committed a crime and given that info to the local police force who went and arrested and/or drew guns on the driver.
There is another case of a Flock camera misidentfying a womans SUV and her as a porch pirate, and she had to take the time and effort herself to prove her innocence.
Guilty until you prove your innocence.
All because "the computer told me to".
Pathetic, police used to have to be somewhat competent to be an officer, now it seems we are moving towards them just being bots with authority given from above, from a computer.
Same problem with speed cameras. They go from clocking you, having a human pull you over and identify you, and lay charges to getting a pick of your plates and mailing you the charges.
It really illustrates just how lazy and incompetent cops actually are.
There was a woman in TN misidentified as a criminal in a case in ND. TN police arrested her on behalf of Fargo, ND police and extradited her to ND where she sat in jail for a long time before they realized they had the wrong woman.
If Flock cameras weren't a problem, they'd be publicly accessible to everyone. But they aren't, because the people in charge think they'd be abused, like they are currently being abused by the people allowed to use them.
