    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.

      of course it's the absence of common sense in the law enforcement but on the other hand this technology is thought to be faultless and it takes resource to put it right
