Grace Knowles Says Stop Followed Aclu Report On Ai Road Surveillance

A driver was pulled over after artificial intelligence road surveillance flagged her travel patterns as suspicious, according to an American Civil Liberties Union report. Grace Knowles said an officer stopped her in September 2025 during a trip from northern Virginia to Florida. She stated that the officer claimed to be from the FBI and showed her software displaying a US heat map alongside photos of her licence plate. Knowles said the officer told her that a plate scan had revealed suspicious travel patterns, though he initially claimed she had stayed in the left lane too long. The ACLU warned that police are increasingly stopping motorists based on automated surveillance alerts before officers have any independent reason to intervene.
