> 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. | ||

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