🚨 Police stormed a grandmother’s home at gunpoint after facial recognition software said she committed a crime. There was just one problem... Angela Lipps was 1,200 miles away in Tennessee when it happened. Bank records proved it. Still, she spent over five months in jail before investigators admitted the algorithm was wrong. By the time she got out, her life was shattered - her home gone, her job gone, even her pets. No amount of money can ever give someone back what they lose when the system gets it wrong. 👇

What happens when a Flock camera misreads your license plate? In the case of Brandon Upchurch, it meant being pulled over, attacked by a police dog, sent to the hospital, and then arrested. The incident began when an automated license plate reader from Flock Safety incorrectly scanned Upchurch’s plate and flagged it as stolen. That alert was sent to a police officer, who treated the hit as confirmation that the vehicle was involved in a crime. Upchurch was pulled over and confronted as if he were driving a stolen car. What followed escalated quickly, ending with a police dog being deployed and Upchurch hospitalized before ultimately being taken into custody. All of this began with a camera reading a license plate wrong. This is the reality of automated surveillance systems which have flaws. When the technology makes a mistake, it’s not the police officer or government who pays the price. It’s us, the people. Stay vigilant, find out if your area uses FLOCK and try to get them removed.
