(NewsNation) — A Florida woman’s wrongful detention following a fatal crash last year is another warning sign about law enforcement’s use of Flock cameras, attorney Patrick J. McGeehan tells NewsNation.

His client, Lindsey Isaacs, spent 13 days in jail on felony charges for an Oct. 4, 2025, accident she had nothing to do with. A federal lawsuit accuses two state police officers with railroading her after they tapped a license plate reader image of her black Dodge Durango with license plate RJVN10 in the area.

The problem with that, the complaint notes, is that a 911 caller had told authorities that a maroon Durango with the partial plate “458” had caused the crash in Sanford, Florida. A speeding vehicle swerved across multiple lanes, hitting a motorcycle and a Ford Focus, causing a pileup before the driver fled. Three people died on the scene.

“Lindsey wasn’t even at the crash scene,” McGeehan told “On Balance” on Wednesday. “These were investigators that got it in their mind that there was a black Dodge Durango involved. They got on Flock, found the first black Dodge Durango, that belonged to Lindsey Isaacs, and pinned that on her.”

Highway Patrol Sgts. Tiffany Jateff and Joshua Buday doubled down in pursuing Isaacs by insisting her impounded “showroom-quality” vehicle exhibited damage from a crash, when photographs showed otherwise, according to the suit.

A Volusia County assistant state attorney with misgivings about the police case is credited with helping get state investigators to launch a detailed investigation into the crash, which led to the arrest of Alisa Lee Montalvo. Montalvo was the driver of a maroon Durango that had undergone repairs after the accident, the lawsuit said.

Prosecutors dropped charges against Isaacs, 23.

She calls the time she wrongly spent in jail “a nightmare.” The suit notes Isaacs underwent humiliating treatment behind bars, was publicly identified as a criminal defendant, and faced lawsuits from family members of the deadly crash she had been falsely linked with.

“I’m just taking life day by day and mentally trying to get better every day,” she told NewsNation.

Florida, meanwhile, has no statute that governs the use of Flock cameras, McGeehan said. At best, he said, some police departments have policies that are not enforceable in other jurisdictions.

“We’re in the wild, wild west of Flock in Florida, and we get Flocked very hard here,” he said.

U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., cited Isaacs’ story in a letter sent Wednesday to Flock CEO Garrett Langley announcing an investigation into the company’s “collection, retention, and dissemination of the data generated by its artificial intelligence surveillance cameras.”

“Errors and false positives add insult to injury. A Florida woman spent 13 days in jail and faced eight felony counts, including three counts of vehicular homicide, after investigators arrested an owner based on their search of Flock’s network for a vehicle description,” Hawley said.
