After officials reviewed dashboard camera footage of the traffic stop, they found the vehicle that actually made the improper turn was similar to the truck Arias Cristobal was driving, and on May 12, they dismissed traffic charges against her.

Arias Cristobal, who came to the U.S. from Mexico when she was 4, had been in ICE custody since early May after the agency took custody of her from the Dalton county jail and transferred her to an ICE detention facility in Lumpkin.

ICE released her from detention on May 22 when an immigration judge granted her bond.

Her father — who was detained by ICE in April, also after a traffic stop — was being held in Lumpkin as well, but he was granted bond and released last week.

Interesting that the excuse the cop used to to pull her over and arrest her was due to identifying an incorrect but similar vehicle.

Kinda makes me wonder if they’re also using real time AI tracking to scan for people on watchlists. This tech is prone to errors and and may flag false matches.

The privately deployed devices, operated by the local non-profit Project NOLA, work in real time. When the system flags a match to a suspect’s face, clothing or even vehicle, a rapid alert goes out to law enforcement through an app.
