Woman Spent 86 Hours in Solitary After Flock Camera Linked Her SUV to Crash

Lindsey Isaacs says an automated license-plate recognition (ALPR) record from a Flock Safety camera linked her Dodge Durango to an October 4, 2025 Interstate 4 crash that killed three people, and that record became central to an investigation that led to her April 2026 arrest on eight felonies, including three counts of vehicular homicide. She spent 13 days in custody - about 86 hours in solitary confinement, a stint in a mental-health unit, then maximum-security housing - before prosecutors dropped all charges. The camera capture only placed her vehicle two to three miles from the scene; witnesses described a differently colored vehicle, her Durango lacked the expected damage, and investigators later identified another woman, Alisa Montalvo, as the suspected driver.

The case is presented as evidence that ALPR matches are investigative leads, not proof of who was driving or whether a vehicle caused a crash, and that investigators prioritized the automated match over contradictory physical evidence and witness accounts. Advocates and the testimony pushed to make corroboration mandatory before camera data can support arrest warrants, to require documented review of exculpatory evidence, and to impose disclosure obligations to defendants. Isaacs has filed a civil lawsuit against Florida Highway Patrol troopers and the agency, and the incident is used to argue for policy and procedural changes among legislators, prosecutors, police departments, and ALPR vendors.
