Pigeonholing responsibility onto one party is what allows these mutually-dependent systems to point fingers at one another to escape blame. Rather, the responsibility here is shared. If you want to focus your call for reform on the police (for both making an overly-broad list, and also for harming innocent motorists without compensating them for the damage), then I agree that's more appropriate for this particular problem. But don't absolve Flock.

Exactly. The responsibility can't all be pinned on one party and divided no party has enough of it.

Collective guilt needs to make a comeback. Make people and systems have an incentive to associate with malicious or shoddy people or systems.
