Summary
A Roseville, California, police audit has exposed serious accuracy problems with Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers (ALPRs). The audit reviewed 1,427 high-stakes alerts from 2023 and 2024 and found that 71% contained misread license plates. Cameras frequently confused characters such as “9” and “8” or “N” and “V,” while shadows, blurry images, and plate frames worsened recognition. These errors have triggered repeated felony alerts and, in other cases, led police to detain innocent drivers at gunpoint. Flock attributed Roseville’s results to older hardware and camera positioning. The findings highlight the need for human verification before officers act on automated alerts.
