Colorado woman sues Flock after a package-theft charge built on ALPR history was voided
Chrisanna Elser filed a federal class-action complaint (Elser v. Flock Group, D. Colo., Oct. 5, 2026) alleging a Columbine Valley sergeant used Bow Mar Flock cameras to pull about a month of her truck's history, then served her a theft summons for a $25 package she says she did not take. Per the complaint and contemporaneous reporting, the chief voided the summons after she produced GPS, phone, and tailor-shop camera evidence placing her elsewhere. These are her allegations; Flock told CBS Colorado the system correctly located her vehicle and that law enforcement decides how to weigh the data, and it intends to defend the case. No defendant response was on the docket as of early October reporting.
