Chrisanna Elser files proposed class action against Flock Group over license plate reader use in false package-theft accusation

Colorado resident Chrisanna Elser filed a proposed class action in the U.S. District Court in Denver against Flock Group, the towns of Columbine Valley and Bow Mar, Sergeant Jamie Milliman, and Chief Bret Cottrell, alleging she was wrongly issued a criminal summons for a $25 package theft based on a Flock automated license plate reader hit. The claims against Flock include intrusion upon seclusion, negligence, and negligent design on the theory that Flock sold a searchable plate archive without requiring a warrant, and she seeks deletion of retained location data and warrant requirements before agency searches.
