Woman asks for the records of how Flock cameras track her car in Florida.
She calculated that the surveillance system has an error rate of 7 percent, and found that in the system her license plate is tied to several cars of different colors and sizes, presenting a very real risk that she could be stopped, suspected of a crime she did not commit.
Imagine a mom dragged out of her vehicle at gun point because computer says "bank robber".
