   Flock did not put the woman in jail. The police and DA put her in Jail. This is not a failure of the technology (do they have confidence levels?). This is a failure of how police are outsourcing their reasoning and decision making to an AI camera service that seems to fail at the tail.

      It is always both. A product that can be abused to this extent is a bad product.

      I have never released a single product that has seen people die through common user misuse.

      The standards for solutions shouldn't get _lower_ as the stakes get _higher_.

      If a private company can puts hundreds of tons of payload into orbit without ever causing someone to accidentally be imprisoned a company that sells cameras on a stick shouldn't either.
