Gun-Wielding Police Torment Woman, Say They Used Flock Wrong

A Wisconsin woman was mistakenly arrested at gunpoint — twice — after police failed to remove her wrongly flagged vehicle from the Flock surveillance system.

Flock cameras flagged Amber Newell’s car in connection with a homicide case that she was not involved in back in July. The Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) told FOX 6 that a department employee failed to remove Newell’s car from the Flock system, keeping the wanted-vehicle alert in place.

The error led to two separate incidents in which Newell was arrested at gunpoint and her car impounded by authorities, according to CBS 58.

“It was very embarrassing because after they put us in cuffs, they walked us to the car. I don’t know what’s going on. I’m scared. All you see is people in their cars recording,” Newell, a resident of Brookfield, Wisconsin, said.

The “nightmare” ordeal also cost Newell her job, she said.

“It was a nightmare. It is a nightmare,” she said. “I lost my job, not only one job, I lost two jobs behind this, because me being stopped on the highway.” (Read more from “Gun-Wielding Police Torment Woman, Say They Used Flock Wrong” HERE)
