The original stop story seems like a data entry problem that would/could have happened without Flock - wouldn't a stolen car/plate be entered in the FBI National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database and looked up by a cop elsewhere resulting in the same stop? Perhaps not as quickly.

Sounds as though there was also a Flock error matching the (misentered) "34 DTM" in the database to the author's number plate of "34 10 DTM" with a small "10":
> And Flock’s AI tech wasn’t registering that non-standard little number when it began picking up the Range Rover around town. It just saw 34 DTM in large type and started alerting the local police.

Unless they are gone, they are still operating.
Getting permission from municipalities to install cameras is just phase one.
I'd encourage everyone here to propagate the idea their business model is selling publicly recorded video of children to pedophiles.
