美国海军退役军人纳波利翁·琼斯在威斯康星州合法录制一次交通检查后，遭沃基肖县警长办公室使用Flock自动车牌识别系统进行了超过100次的非法追踪1。警长办公室在琼斯提出公民投诉后进行这些搜索，被指控是对其行使第一修正案权利的报复1。
事件始于2025年5月4日，琼斯在威斯康星州苏塞克斯一私人停车场被逮捕，随后被非法拘留5小时，释放时未被指控任何犯罪1。警方使用Flock系统对琼斯的车辆进行追踪，首张识别照片出现在事件发生后26天的2025年5月30日1。琼斯律师纳特·凯德对这一时间差提出质疑，问道："为什么你有他车辆在25天后的照片？"1琼斯本人表示："我非常震惊，我无法理解为什么Flock系统会如何被用于此目的，因为据我所知，它是用于犯罪的"1。
沃基肖县警长办公室声称这些搜索是由一名中尉下令进行的1。琼斯已提起联邦诉讼，指控警方滥用权力1。
A retired U.S. Navy veteran in Wisconsin has filed a federal lawsuit alleging that local law enforcement illegally tracked his vehicle more than 100 times using Flock, an automated license plate recognition system, in apparent retaliation for his lawful recording of a traffic stop.1 The incident began on May 4, 2025, when Napoleon Jones was stopped by Officer Brandon Shaheen of the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office in a private parking lot in Sussex, Wisconsin.1 Jones was detained for five hours without being charged with any crime before being released.1
According to Jones's attorney, Nat Kade, the first Flock photograph of Jones's vehicle appeared 26 days after the initial traffic stop, on May 30, 2025.1 Kade questioned the justification for the searches, stating: "Why do you have his vehicle in a photo 25 days later?"1 The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office claimed that a lieutenant had ordered the searches, but Jones contends the tracking was conducted in retaliation for his exercise of First Amendment rights in recording the traffic encounter.1 Jones himself expressed bewilderment at the use of the system, remarking: "I am very shocked, I cannot understand why or how the Flock system would be used for this purpose, as to my knowledge it is supposed to be used for crime."1
The case gained public attention in August 2026 when Jones posted about the incident on social media, and his formal civil rights complaint was filed in July 2026.1 The lawsuit raises significant questions about the oversight and authorization protocols governing the use of license plate recognition technology by law enforcement agencies.
