Comment on Flock license plate readers cost city big, deliver littleparent

Comments

Maybe! We don't know, all we know is that allegedly:

Those searches played a part in “advancing 361 cases.”

What does "played a part" mean? What does "advancing a case" mean?

If you're Flock, and an officer ran a search against a Flock database, for a crime that was later solved, regardless of how it was solved, they will crow that "Flock solved a crime".

Reads like the intentionally obtuse language of an analytics guy making the numbers as big as possible without outright lying.
