Flock cameras wrongly identify journalist as car thief, leading to police stop

A journalist was wrongly identified as a car thief by Flock surveillance cameras and surrounded by armed police. The Flock system flagged the journalist's test-drive vehicle as stolen due to a license plate misread, leading to a police stop. The actual vehicle had a misplaced plate. Flock cameras are widely used by law enforcement, raising privacy and surveillance concerns, with past incidents of misuse and public protests.
