🚨 Lets set the record straight... Cameras. 👏 Do. 👏 Not. 👏 Stop. 👏 Crimes. 👏 Do they deter them? Not according to the stats or experts: 📉 0.3% crime clearance rate 📉 Arrests: Under 1% of patrol visits 📉 Less than 1% of ALPR “hits” lead to an arrest 📉 30 crime hot spots: No significant deterrent effect -LAPD internal report: cameras are “primarily reactive” and “do not prevent crime.” -NYPD Inspector General: surveillance tech “does not demonstrate effectiveness” in reducing crime. -Chicago’s camera expansion produced no statistically significant drop in crime citywide (Urban Institute). -Baltimore’s CitiWatch program: no measurable impact on overall crime rates (Johns Hopkins study). -Oakland’s camera network: 0.1% of incidents resulted in usable evidence (City Auditor report). -Detroit’s Project Green Light: no correlation between camera presence and reduced crime or increased arrests (University of Michigan study). -Sacramento County: ALPR costs increased 300% over five years while clearance rates stayed near zero (Grand Jury). -SFPD audit found no measurable impact on crime reduction from citywide camera networks. -Seattle halted its mesh‑network camera program after an audit showed no demonstrated public‑safety benefit. -St. Louis study of surveillance zones showed no reduction in violent crime and no increase in arrests. -San Diego Smart Streetlights audit: police used the cameras heavily, but crime trends did not change, and arrest rates did not improve. -New Orleans independent evaluation of the Real‑Time Crime Center found no correlation between camera deployment and reduced violent crime. These are only a few examples... Every major independent study says the same thing: Cameras don’t stop crime. They just record it and expand surveillance. Stop doing Flock's marketing for them.
