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.

> A simple data-entry error, magnified and broadcast nationwide by a growing surveillance network operated through an opaque partnership between a private company and public agencies, led police to identify me as a car thief and set up a sting to take me down.

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.
