Flock Safety’s license plate readers (ALPRs) are increasingly deployed by law enforcement, promising enhanced public safety. However, the technology’s accuracy is questionable, leading to severe consequences for innocent individuals. In multiple documented cases, Flock’s misreads have resulted in people being stopped at gunpoint, jailed, or even attacked by police dogs. Brandon Upchurch’s experience, where a misread plate led to a dog attack and arrest, highlights these risks. Despite Flock’s claims of continuous improvement and high accuracy, critics point to a lack of transparency and independent verification, raising concerns about the technology’s reliability and its impact on civil liberties. The increasing reliance on these systems without rigorous oversight creates a significant potential for due process violations.
