Driver Ticketed for No Insurance Just Because Flock (YC 2017) Said She Didn't

A Georgia driver was ticketed for driving without insurance despite presenting a valid insurance card to the officer, who relied solely on an alert from Flock, an automated license plate reader system, rather than verifying her actual insurance status. The driver was pulled over a second time the next day for the same reason, highlighting how law enforcement is increasingly deferring to algorithmic determinations over physical proof and traditional verification methods.
