A Florida woman spent 7 months facing life in prison because police searched Flock's database for a Dodge Durango and arrested the first person they found.
her name is Lindsey Isaacs. 23 years old.
October 4, 2025. a hit-and-run on Interstate 4. three people dead. witnesses said the car was a Dodge Durango. police searched Flock's cameras. found one near the scene. arrested Isaacs.
she spent 13 days in jail. held without bond. faced eight felony counts including three counts of vehicular homicide. a conviction would have meant life in prison.
"I didn't want to be alive," she told
@reason . "it was a nightmare."
here's what police had on day one that they didn't use:
— Isaacs' Durango was purchased two months before the crash. it still looked new. no damage.
— the Ford Focus hit in the crash had red paint transfer. Isaacs' car was black.
— one witness said the driver's airbag deployed. Isaacs' hadn't.
— a 911 caller reported a partial plate that didn't match Isaacs' tag.
all of it available the day of the accident.
police ignored it or didn't look.
charges were dropped seven months later when investigators found the real car. a red Durango. belonging to a family friend of the victim who had been at the birthday party that night. paint and window tint on the driver's side didn't match the rest of the car. one airbag removed. another stuffed back into the seat.
the Flock camera found a Durango near the scene.
the police did the rest
and Roseville, California's police department found that 71% of its Flock alerts were incorrect.
not a rounding error.
71%.
