‘I didn’t want to be alive’: Florida woman locked in solitary confinement for days after Flock cameras incorrectly labeled her a hit-and-run killer

A U.S. Senate investigation into the misuse of Flock cameras has heard a Florida woman’s testimony about her experience after she was held for 13 days due to the controversial license plate readers allegedly misidentifying her vehicle in a hit-and-run that killed three people.

The incident in question took place in October 2025 on I-4 near Debary, reports Fox 13. Witnesses claimed to have seen a maroon Dodge Durango fleeing the scene after being involved in the crash that ended three lives.

Law enforcement keyed the vehicle details into the Flock automatic license plate reader, which brought up a black Durango roughly three miles from the site of the hit-and-run. Despite the difference in color, officers used the information provided by the Flock system to arrest Lindsey Isaacs.

While news of law enforcement misusing Flock cameras is not new, this case seems to have been the most life-changing so far. Even though she was later proven to be innocent, Isaacs spent the next 13 days in jail before she was eventually let go. A portion of that time was spent in solitary confinement in a suicide prevention dress.

Lindsey Isaacs gave a damning testimony regarding the misuse of Flock

During a testimony to the U.S. Senate, Isaacs spoke of the turmoil and psychological toll her experience caused, saying, “I didn’t want to be alive.” She provided details about her wrongful incarceration, isolation, and humiliation.

“The cell door was shut, and it was not opened for approximately 86 hours,” Isaacs claimed, referring to her stay in solitary confinement. She said she was placed in a blue suicide prevention dress with broken Velcro, which she claims left her exposed.

Afterwards, Isaacs says she was moved to a “mental health unit for approximately 24 hours before ultimately being transferred to G block — a maximum security housing unit, where I remained for approximately 10 days.” During her 13 days of incarceration, Isaacs says she was “terrified,” adding, “I was facing the possibility of spending the rest of my life in prison for a crash I knew I had not been involved in.”

This isn’t the first time Flock has been misused by law enforcement. Earlier this month, a San Jose police officer was fired after allegedly using Flock cameras to track a woman and give her location to a suspect accused of abusing her.

While the investigation into the misuse of Flock cameras continues, it is as of yet unclear what will come of it. New regulations and legislation regarding the use of the surveillance technology could be brought in to prevent future cases like Isaacs, but any possible changes won’t be known until after the investigation concludes.
