Hundreds of people have been tracked down and killed with flock cameras unnecessarily. The police routinely escalate interactions as a matter of procedure until they end in shootings.
On average over 1000 people are killed by police each year. A police officer is by far the most dangerous person you'll likely interact with on a day to day basis.
Last year in the US, there were approximately 12k homicides and 191 civilians killed in interactions with the police.
Where do you get these numbers?
This says police killings are at about 1200 per year.

This is not a real datapoint. We quite a few cases of wrongful stops or arrests, but there is only one case where it escalated to physical damage (Brandon Upchurch).
Only about 10% of officer involved shootings come from traffic stops, which is what we're talking about when we're talking about Flock license plate readers.
Your numbers aren’t far off - it was about 1200 police killings last year, 112 during traffic stops.
That is shockingly bad. Where police officers can be identified, about 10% have shot someone before.

Flock cameras are deployed in locations that cannot monitor traffic, too.
