WASHINGTON, D.C. — Lindsey Isaacs, the Florida woman who was wrongly arrested and jailed for nearly two weeks in connection with a deadly crash on Interstate 4, testified Wednesday before a U.S. Senate panel, criticizing the license plate reader technology used in the investigation.
Isaacs appeared before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, where she discussed her arrest and the impact it had on her life.
Florida Highway Patrol investigators initially identified Isaacs’ vehicle using a Flock license plate reader camera after a deadly crash on I-4 in Volusia County that killed three people and injured another.
Isaacs was arrested in April and charged with eight counts of vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash involving death. She spent 13 days in jail before prosecutors dropped all charges.
During her testimony, Isaacs described the consequences of the mistaken arrest and called the camera technology “dangerous.”
The hearing comes as questions continue to be raised about the use of automated license plate reader systems across Florida.
Last month, Flock cameras were removed from state highway rights-of-way following action by the Florida Department of Transportation. Several law enforcement agencies across Central Florida have also suspended or discontinued their use of the system while awaiting possible statewide regulations.
Channel 9 has followed Isaacs’ case since her arrest and the eventual dismissal of all charges against her.
