I was watching random body cam footage recently and in one of the arrests they commented that the traffic stop/detention was because flock had identified unusual multi state activity. The cops had absolutely nothing else to work with but because the drivers in the group of cars didn't speak much English they were able to force illegal searches and found that they were carrying high value goods that they felt were stolen. The whole thing was a huge mess of insane 4th and 5th amendment violations.
