AI incidents

Reports of AI-related harm and adverse experiences affecting people’s safety, wellbeing, rights and livelihoods. Explore what happened and the evidence available.

NOPE’s core concern is when AI communicates with a person, acts on their behalf, or depicts or impersonates them. The tracker is wider: it also records consequential decisions and claims about people. Each account is reviewed for publication; claims may remain uncorroborated or disputed.

Pasadena, Texas: a police sergeant accused by a city council member of using the department's Flock license-plate readers to track a female fellow officer resigned in July 2026 and surrendered the Texas peace officer license in lieu of prosecution; officials would not say whether the surrender related to the Flock allegation

According to Pasadena City Council Member Emmanuel Guerrero, speaking to KPRC 2, ABC13 and FOX 26 from July 2026, a sergeant in the Pasadena, Texas, police department was investigated for using the department's Flock license-plate-reader system to track and stalk a female fellow officer, and the system flagged the heavy use of the account. The city says the investigation began in May 2026. The sergeant resigned on 8 July 2026 while under investigation, and in August the department and the Harris County District Attorney's Office said the former sergeant had surrendered the Texas peace officer license under an agreement in lieu of criminal prosecution. Neither office would confirm that the surrender related to the Flock allegation, and the department has not released its findings. Its statement describes allegations made by two employees against one another. The former sergeant's attorney told ABC13 that the client disputes the allegations.

AI involvement reported · Causal attribution alleged · 6 sources, 3 underlying accounts · Added 03/10/2026

Cases may have several effects and sources. Mixed accounts qualify when they include a reported harm or adverse experience. People are counted within individual cases where sources support a number; we do not publish a collection-wide total of distinct people.

A source’s existence, the experience it reports and AI’s causal role are separate questions. A lawsuit records allegations unless a subsequent finding establishes them.
