Hundreds of people have been tracked down and killed with flock cameras unnecessarily. The police routinely escalate interactions as a matter of procedure until they end in shootings.

On average over 1000 people are killed by police each year. A police officer is by far the most dangerous person you'll likely interact with on a day to day basis.

		Where do you get these numbers? This says police killings are at about 1200 per year. https://policeviolencereport.org/

> Hundreds of people have been tracked down and killed with flock cameras unnecessarily.

This is not a real datapoint. We quite a few cases of wrongful stops or arrests, but there is only one case where it escalated to physical damage (Brandon Upchurch).

Only about 10% of officer involved shootings come from traffic stops, which is what we're talking about when we're talking about Flock license plate readers.

		Your numbers aren’t far off - it was about 1200 police killings last year, 112 during traffic stops. That is shockingly bad. Where police officers can be identified, about 10% have shot someone before. https://policeviolencereport.org/

		Flock cameras are deployed in locations that cannot monitor traffic, too.
