Honestly she should sue for malicious prosecution. She was driving the vehicle legally with insurance, she proved that to the officer by showing her paperwork, and then, knowing that she had insurance and the complaint was baseless, the officer wrote the ticket anyway.

This should be an open and shut case.

Too bad there's not malpractice but for cops

Look, I'm not saying that I support these Big Brother-type companies, but if the cop is just gonna follow the instructions on their computer and not even think for themselves, then we should cut out the middleman. Flock should send tickets directly to offenders. You're far less likely to get shot that way.

What recourse could an AI company possibly have over someone? Negative social credits.
Run a stop sign? Social credit goes down. Rob a Walmart? Social credit goes down. Murder someone? Social credit goes down, but more. Safely follow all road laws? Fuck you, this counter only goes down. Have low social credit? Believe it or not, social credit goes down.

How do we use these social credits to keep society in line? Public registry. Look up why anyone has their social credit score. Filter by thefts at Walmart and buy those people beers.

But seriously. If the Justice system is willing to automate and outsource police work, then get those fucking cops off the streets.

Was she black?

Edit: yup, she was black. I hope the officer suddenly runs out of blood soon.

ACAB as usual.

What's crazy to me is how this insurance database lookup even makes sense... Most insurance companies give you a grace period to add new vehicles if you have an existing policy. For mine in Washington, I have 14 days to tell my insurance if I've bought a new car, and it's covered under my existing policy until then. Flock would have no way of looking up this information and has no justification to flag a vehicle like this...

I’m struggling to process how the fuck that cop could still write a ticket after seeing a valid proof of insurance. The sheer arrogance is ridiculous

In a just world, the officer, the police department, and Flock would all owe her compensation. I'd put the amount at about 10x the fine for the offense.

Now eagerly waiting for a computer to tell them "Go fuck yourself"

So I had a suspicion, and yup, this was another ticket for DWB. Flock was just the excuse du jour.

The police officer did the right thing. As we all know, computers are always right /s

If the cameras are sending cops after non-existent crimes, how are they helping with efficiency or cost?

oh cool, so now we have a private company directing our police force.

And the relationship is both symbiotic and exponential. The police make money writing tickets, that money goes to the local govenment, and that government can buy more flock cameras. More flock cameras, more tickets, more money, more flock cameras.....

Cyberpunk distophia here we come!

Computer says no ticket.

Well we know cops are dumb and lazy as a group... imagine once you give them license to turn off the remaining brain power as AI is thinking for them, what could go wrong?
