Reason reports on an Institute for Justice analysis by Matthew West showing the working paper Flock promotes -- covering 216 agencies using Flock and 3,108 that don't -- found pre-existing trends in theft and arrests before camera deployment, and that the headline 11 percent theft drop vanishes when data are weighted by population instead of by agencies with bigger initial problems.

“Because there were already differences in arrests and thefts trends before ALPR deployment, we don't know if the differences in ALPR deployment were caused by ALPR deployment”
