Cites Atlanta Community Press Collective vs. Flock's 2024 claim that one extra LPR camera per sworn officer correlates with a 9.1% clearance-rate increase. APD's comparable homicide clearance was worst in 2025 (48%) after the camera boom.

A numbers fight you can take to a comment period: company correlation claim vs. one large department's FBI CDE clearance trend.
In 2024, Flock claimed that 'one additional Flock Safety License Plate Recognition (LPR) camera per sworn officer correlates with a 9.1% increase in clearance rate,' but Atlanta Community Press Collective found that Atlanta Police Department's FBI Crime Data Explorer clearance rates have shown no such correlation.
