Automatic license plate reader cameras operated by Flock Safety are generating false warrant alerts for a man who has never had one issued against him, creating a persistent police database error.
The man has been repeatedly stopped by police based on erroneous Flock camera data indicating an active warrant. Despite his claims of innocence and lack of any actual warrant, the misidentification persists in law enforcement systems.
Flock Safety's automated system scans license plates and cross-references them against law enforcement databases. When matches occur, police receive alerts. The recurring false positive in this case suggests either a data entry error in the warrant database, a mistaken vehicle match, or a failure in Flock's system to properly validate warrant information.
Multiple traffic stops have resulted from the faulty alerts, creating inconvenience and potential legal complications for the individual involved. The incident highlights concerns about automated surveillance technology's accuracy and the difficulty individuals face in correcting errors within interconnected law enforcement databases.
Neither Flock Safety nor responding agencies have publicly addressed how the error occurred or what steps are being taken to prevent similar incidents.
