Woman Held 86 Hours in Solitary After Flock Camera Linked SUV to Crash

Original: Woman Spent 86 Hours in Solitary After Flock Camera Linked Her SUV to Crash

A 23-year-old woman, Lindsey Isaacs, testified that she spent 86 hours in solitary confinement after an automated Flock license plate camera flagged her SUV as connected to a fatal crash. The case is drawing attention to concerns that automated surveillance systems can implicate people quickly while error-prone investigative shortcuts leave them detained before charges or verification catch up.

Why now: It renews debate over automated license plate readers and due process, as people worry surveillance tech can get innocents jailed.
