Flock camera pings the wrong Durango, and 23 year-old woman spends 13 days in jail for a crash she didn’t cause. Lindsey Brooke Isaacs was 23, asleep in her Palm Coast apartment, when Florida Highway Patrol troopers pounded on the door. They told her her black Dodge Durango had killed three people on I-4 near DeBary on October 4, 2025. A motorcyclist and Flagler County official Jorge Salinas and his wife. She said they had the wrong person. Her SUV was almost new. No crash damage. She asked them to show her the damage. They wouldn’t let her look. They towed the car anyway. What they had was a Flock automated license plate reader hit. A camera three miles west of the wreck logged her plate at 9:51 p.m. The crash was around 9:53. That timing should have cleared her, as she was already past the scene. Instead, it became the case. Witnesses and a 911 caller described a maroon Durango and a partial plate starting 458. Struck vehicles had maroon paint. Isaacs’ plate was RJVN10. Her Durango was black. Investigators searched Flock for a black Durango anyway, locked onto the first one they found, and ran with it. They alleged “marks consistent with a collision.” Photos of the car in the impound lot later showed no such damage. They never pulled the event data recorder that would have shown no collision. They omitted the maroon description and the timing from the story that put her in handcuffs. April 17, 2026: arrest warrant. Eight felonies, including three counts of vehicular homicide. Held without bond. Thirteen days in Volusia County Jail, including solitary, she later told the Senate, in a cell with feces on the walls. Facing what she was told could be life. April 29: $250,000 bond. May 22: prosecutors drop every charge. Same day, they arrest Alisa Lee Montalvo of Deltona who owned a maroon Durango, plate beginning 458, damage that actually matches. Isaacs is suing the two FHP sergeants who built the case. This week she testified in the U.S. Senate about Flock’s nationwide ALPR network.
