Flock cameras mistakenly track car reviewer over 'stolen' tags — police ambush tester in store parking lot and detain him for an hour

A car reviewer was mistakenly detained for an hour in a store parking lot after Flock AI cameras flagged his license plate as having "stolen" tags due to misreading smaller digits. The police initially blocked him in, suspecting illegal activity, but later released him when they discovered the error. This incident highlights the risks of over-reliance on automated systems and the potential for significant errors when technology isn't properly calibrated. It underscores the need for more robust verification processes to prevent such misunderstandings in the future.
