being black was absolutely the real crime the cop was concerned with, the insurance bullshit was just manufactured cause.

Figures. I had the assumption the moment I read this happened in Georgia.

There is, kinda. It's called the "Brady List" and kinda almost can do the same thing.

that was my first question seeing the headline. shame on flock and the officer

You're far less likely to get shot that way

Well... Until they start putting guns in the cameras anyway.

Actually, a number of governments have contracted with private companies to handle certain policing duties like tolls or parking enforcement. Those companies then basically get all the rights of the government. I believe that it was NY City that was having a serious problem with parking enforcement stealing (impounding vehicles) and putting tickets on legally parked vehicles (about 10yrs ago) just to bump their profits.

Also just hand the guns to the AI as well.

Hope this diagram of cop programming helps:

I've seen other examples of this in bodycam videos from Georgia on YouTube where Flock wasn't involved at all. The cops claimed that they only go by what their computers say regardless of whether the person has proof of insurance on hand. In one notable example, a cop stopped an elderly couple at around midnight for the same reason, ignored their proof of insurance, and left them stranded on the side of the road after towing their car. The husband was disabled and couldn't walk.

There's an infamous video of a cop who tickets an amputee for holding a cellphone in her non existent hand. He triples down in the video that she had the phone specifically in her missing hand WHILE she is holding up the stump and laughing at him. She of course disputed it, agency stupidly stood by their braindead officer until it got to court when suddenly the cop begged for the entire thing to be dropped, after proceedings had started, wasting everyone's time and taxpayer dollars.

They are so used to never being questioned, and having zero consequences when they are because of qualified immunity, that their brains are incapable of processing that they are fucking up something incredibly simple.

Apparently they can write tickets for things that are objectively false. There's bodycam footage of cop giving a ticket to a woman a few months ago for using her phone while driving. He said "with your right hand" before she showed him that she doesn't have a right hand. Gave her a ticket anyway

That's a funny way of spelling "sheer ignorance"

It's that thing where your brain locks in on your first understanding of a situation and it's harder to change after that point. Cops, being morons, are extra susceptible to it.

What's crazy to me is that someone, somewhere thought big brother was necessary for enforcing car insurance at all.

Bold of you to assume cops use logic

The problem is that any fees cops get for doing stuff coming out of tax money.
In a way I understand why, but it just bullshit at the end of day.
