Police Are Increasingly Pulling People Over Because AI Deems Their Driving Patterns “Suspicious”
A driver has been stopped by law enforcement after an artificial intelligence surveillance system flagged her travel patterns as "suspicious". Grace Knowles was travelling towards Florida in September 2025 when an officer pulled her over. The officer, who said he was a special agent with the FBI, told her that scanning her plate revealed unusual journeys. Surveillance software had analysed automated licence plate reader data to track her driving across several US states. The officer showed Ms Knowles a heat map inside his vehicle that displayed circles of her previous locations linked to photographs of her licence plate.
