City Bans Flock Cameras After Wrongful Police Stop
Original: My City Just Banned Flock After My Wrongful Stop Made National News
A driver who was wrongfully stopped by police after Flock Safety's automated license plate reader misidentified their vehicle is crediting the incident with pushing their city to ban the company's surveillance cameras. The stop drew national attention and renewed criticism of how errors in automated plate-reading data can lead to innocent motorists being detained at gunpoint by police.
Why now: Growing public backlash over wrongful stops caused by automated license plate reader errors is prompting cities to reconsider or ban Flock's surveillance systems.
