In the California town of Roseville, Flock Safety's AI-powered license plate readers misread plates in 71% of alerts sent to police, according to an analysis by the Roseville Police Department. The misreads, which often confused similar characters like '9' and '8', led to no traffic stops or arrests in Roseville, but have raised concerns about the technology's accuracy and potential misuse in other jurisdictions.
