“I did not know if I would ever get out of jail,” said Lindsey Isaacs, a Florida woman who testified before Congress about being wrongly accused in a deadly crash and jailed on vehicular homicide charges after data from a Flock Safety automated license-plate recognition system became part of the investigation. Isaacs said she was put in solitary confinement for 86 hours. “I came here today because I want you to understand that surveillance technology does not exist in a vacuum,” Isaacs testified Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The real tragedy is the way the Florida highway patrol and other cops actually acted like tyrants. Toxic command presence, rude, dismissive, and outvto escalate everything without a care in the world for the rights of the citizens they are paid to protect. Fl cops need an attitude adjustment.

Flock cameras are not the bad actor here. The bad actors are the people who want to use this technology to replace human work effort, to rely solely on the technology for answers. Cops need to do their due diligence when investigating and stop blindly following technology

That’s really disturbing. Being wrongly accused and jailed must have been an incredibly frightening experience, especially when the technology involved was supposed to help identify what happened

Flock makes for lazy detectives, they will look no further or dig no deeper, and they don't give a fuck

What protocols can be established to double-check automated license-plate reader data before initiating an arrest?

The algorithm said she was guilty. The algorithm was wrong. But hey — at least the wrongful imprisonment was highly efficient.
