A licence plate camera flagged the wrong Dodge Durango, and Lindsey Isaacs paid for it with 13 days in a Florida jail, part of that stretch in solitary confinement.
She told a Senate Judiciary subcommittee on Wednesday how troopers arrived at her home at 4:30 a.m., said her vehicle was involved in three deaths, and treated a Flock Safety camera hit as the proof. “I said, ‘Where’s the damage? You’ve got the wrong person,'” she recalled.
The crash happened on Interstate 4 near DeBary on October 4, 2025, killing Flagler Beach Deputy Administrator Jorge Salinas, his wife Nancy, and motorcyclist Joaquin Deno. Witnesses described a Dodge Durango fleeing, and three Durangos were in the area. The Florida Highway Patrol arrested Isaacs in April 2026 on eight counts, including vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash with death.
Prosecutors later dropped the charges and accused Alisa Lee Montalvo over the maroon 2021 Durango that investigators now say caused the crash. An arrest affidavit states that a state attorney asked for crash reconstruction ten days after Isaacs was jailed.
Isaacs is suing the highway patrol over emotional distress, loss of liberty and reputational harm. Her lawyer, Patrick McGeehan, said the case “raises serious questions about surveillance technology, how law enforcement uses the data it collects, and what happens when that technology gets it wrong.”
Flock runs more than 120,000 cameras across 49 states, and pooled reads can rebuild a driver’s movements over months. The panel examining the network has heard from privacy advocates who argue a single scan is harmless but millions become a searchable location history.
