Sadly, we need to cry for everyone caught in this system. It is in our own best interests to make sure it is stopped, even for those too short sighted to see how it works against them.
Yeah, as a person who was wrongfully accused some years back - a ridiculous thing - a third party accusation, I had around 20 alibis from people who were with me, the whole day, and even the victim said I bore little resemblance to the person who threatened him. Culminating in me advising the police that they need to tell the accuser they were looking at arrest for filing a false report, and after that, a civil case.
Point is, that does some psychological damage.
Unlike the standard "Cawps iz evilz" reaction here, the police were pretty nice. They sensed fairly early on that there was some serious bullshittery going on.
The way I see it is that Flock is seriously flawed - no guardrails. And Flock as a company cannot be trusted. So plate tracking such as it is, needs to hit on only relevant plates, not wholesale surveillance, logs of who searched what, logons and logoffs documented, and any FlockStops that are shown to be in error must be corrected before moving on.
While there is no perfect system, I've worked enough in places where every action I took computer-wise was logged and saved. So it isn't all that difficult to improve security and false positives here.
Just not by the Flock company. They have proven to be untrustworthy.
