A mistaken police alert involving a Milwaukee homicide could now lead to a legal claim against the Milwaukee Police Department.
Amber Newell says she was stopped at gunpoint in Brookfield after her car was wrongly flagged, then was fired after her employer learned of the homicide connection.
Police say she had no involvement in the case and that the flag remained active because of human error.
Her attorney says a notice of claim is expected by the end of the week.
That's the first step before a possible lawsuit.
Milwaukee police could face tighter rules for flock cameras after several common council members called for more oversight.
13 council members have signed on to a letter wanting the department to limit routine flock data storage to seven days, track the reason for every search and allow independent audits.
Their letter asks Police Chief Jeffrey Norman and the Fire and Police Commission to respond by September 11th.
The request follows investigations into possible misuse of the system by three Milwaukee officers.
It's all news all morning from 540 WAUK and 100.3 FM.

The museum plans to open its new 200,000 square foot nature and culture museum of Wisconsin, your sixth in McKinley next year.

The partial eclipse begins at around 9.34 tonight if you wanted to set a timer.

Governor Tony Evers is making another request to President Trump, this time for federal disaster aid after July storms in the Fox Valley.
The governor is seeking help for people and communities in forest, out of gamey, vilus, and Winnebago counties.
State and federal damage reviews estimate more than $8 million in residential losses and nearly $14 million in public sector damage.
The request follows an EF-3 tornado in the Monash-Appleton area, along with high winds, hail, power outages, and water system problems.
Wisconsin is part of a proposed $17 billion settlement with meta that aims to make Facebook and Instagram safer for children.

The agreement follows a multi-state investigation into claims that Meta knew its products could harm young users, but failed to do enough to protect them.
The settlement must first be approved by a court.
The Wisconsin State Fair is reporting an increase in attendance.
More than 925,000 visitors were counted during this year's 11-day event in West Alice, an increase compared to last year's edition.
However, the number is well short of the record of more than 1.1 million fairgoers in 2024.
That was the third consecutive year the fair saw at least one million visitors, but is now falling short of that mark for the second straight year.
Next year's event is scheduled to take place from August 5th to August 15th.

Wisconsin anglers may need to change which fish they take home and eat under new state health guidance.
The DNR and Department of Health Services have released an updated Choose Wisely booklet with fish consumption advice for waters across the state.
Some areas, including parts of the Yajara River chain and the Wisconsin and La Crosse rivers, now have stricter warnings and do not eat advice for certain species.
Officials say fish remain a healthy food, but contaminants such as mercury, PCBs, and PFOs can build up over time.
Green Bay City officials are warning residents about a phishing scam targeting people after submitting certain permits or applications.
