Gururu Imagine what would have happened if it was several unmarked vehicles with masked men. Reply
TechieTwo Garbage in = garbage out. Negligence by the data entry person and a warning about AI's limitations and NJ's oddball plates. I'll bet Flock caught a lot of real crims in the hour it took CA cops to sort out the mistakes. Reply
jmcgaw So, Flock made a false police report. Isn't that a felony in nearly every jurisdiction? Oh, and the police were not quite bright enough to actually look at the plates in question and see that there was no match? As if there wasn't enough natural stupid in the world, we now have machine-augmented stupid. Reply
PEnns And the worst part of the story?? "..a $155,000 loaner Range Rover" Range Rover?? Sheesh, one could buy a real car with that amount, like a very decent used Ferrari !! Reply
Rabohinf "Thankfully, the incident did not turn into something serious . . . " Are you kidding me? Reply
chaos215bar2 So much WTF here. Not the least of which is this: Thankfully, the incident did not turn into something serious, especially as the Plymouth Police told Feder that the cops would have stopped him with guns drawn if he were in Minneapolis. Just in this one sentence, How is being detained by the police for an hour under false suspicion not "serious"? How would the Plymouth Police know how Minneapolis police would respond? This sounds like utter BS. Why would Minneapolis police respond with guns drawn when they already know they have at most a 1 in 4 chance of stopping the right car, and likely much lower, because the original report was in LA! Read between the lines, and this one article touches on nearly everything that's wrong with policing in the US. You have mass surveillance, which is somehow not a 4th amendment violation because reasons. You have overreacting police who have no excuse not to have known ahead of time they almost certainly have the wrong vehicle. You have an innocent car reviewer detained for an hour due to incompetence. And you have… whatever stupid political deflection that Minneapolis comment represents. The reality here is that, first, Flock simply shouldn't exist. Their entire product is an absolutely wild end run around the 4th amendment. But beyond that, Plymouth Police utterly failed to do basic due diligence. What would they have done if they hadn't been able to prove the reviewer's innocence right on the spot? Would they have jailed him and impounded the car over a partial match to stolen plates reported in California? There are probably hundreds of plates in the US, across all states, that match 34 ## DTM. Reply
