Isn't this a non story? (At least from Flocks perspective) it seems mostly like the fault of the officers involved. The title makes it sound like they actively seeked to silence a journalist, but nothing in the actual article correlates with that. In fact it's not even the title of the article nor claimed at all in the article. There's no fancy AI needed to OCR out a 10. It's quite believable at least from Flocks perspective that it's the way the police want it set up. I mean the fact that officers typo'd in the wrong initial value seems to support that. This is a problem with the cops. Not flock.

Fundamentally, this is the police not understanding statistics as usual. It provides a flood of data, and the more data you have the more likely you are to see an error.
