ALPR Misread Plate Digit — Woman Stopped at Gunpoint by Six Officers, $495K Settlement

ACLU · ACLU Staff · June 1, 2015

An ALPR misread a '3' as a '7' on Denise Green's plate. Six officers drew guns including a shotgun, ordered her to kneel, and handcuffed her. The 'stolen' vehicle was a gray truck; she drove a burgundy Lexus. San Francisco settled for $495,000.
