The dependence on "AI" is the danger because it's incredibly stupid, and officers are not very smart. They need solid foundational training to favors innocence. They do get a lot of that, and it's almost always bad laws that lead to these situations (including the entire war on drugs).
Flock is a big problem here because it is clearly violating the 4th amendment. You can say "they're in public" and sure .. that's true. But when you start doing deep analytics automatically on everyone in "public," it's more than just a CCTV to keep a record or someone taking a photo of people walking through the park. It becomes indexed and searchable: surveillance. That's illegal search, which in this case lead to illegal search and seizure.
Gun sale records are not allowed to be indexed and searchable by name (they can be by a gun store. But if they go out of business and send an Excel spreadsheet in to the ATF, it has to be printed out and stored on paper or microfilm).
I hope this woman gets at least a million after taxes and legal fees for this fuck up. I hope the woman from TN gets a few million for her six months of detention in North Dakota. TN should have never remanded her. Both states failed to protect the people in that case. She lost her fucking house!
