Senate Flock Hearing to Feature Woman Wrongly Arrested in Crash

Senate Flock Hearing to Feature Woman Wrongly Arrested in Crash

A Flagler County woman who was wrongfully arrested over a deadly crash she did not cause will testify Wednesday at a Senate hearing focused on surveillance cameras.

Lindsey Isaacs, 23, is scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism at 2:30 p.m.

The hearing, titled “Always Watching: Flock’s Nationwide AI Surveillance Network,” will be streamed live on the Senate website.

Isaacs was arrested in April and accused of driving the SUV involved in an October 2025 crash on Interstate 4 near DeBary that killed three people. She spent 13 days in jail and remained out on bond for two weeks before prosecutors dropped the charges.

The Florida Highway Patrol later arrested another woman, whom investigators identified as the actual driver of the vehicle that caused the crash. Isaacs’ attorney has said location data and the timing of the collision proved Isaacs could not have been at the scene.

Isaacs is suing the Florida Highway Patrol, alleging troopers disregarded evidence and based the arrest largely on damage to her black Dodge Durango. Witnesses reported that the crash vehicle was black, while Isaacs’ SUV had been captured by nearby Flock cameras around the time of the collision.

Investigators now say the actual suspect was driving a maroon Durango.

The Senate hearing comes as surveillance cameras and automated license plate readers face increasing scrutiny nationwide, particularly Flock systems. Florida recently directed local governments to remove the cameras from state roadways, prompting many counties and cities to end contracts with Flock and other camera companies.
