Incorrect. In 2021, the FBI stopped accepting submissions from the old collectiin system and only used the new collection system. That year, it lost roughly 30% of the data it normally received. The FabI itself said no trend could be reported due to this.
Anyone who used the data from 2021 forward would present false trends. As an example, the FBI later went back and gathered data about hate crimes from the old system and added that info and discovered they went up by 21% from 2020 to 2021 rather than going down like the incomplete data showed.
Police departments are still transitioning to the new system,so all trends report led are still using incomplete data. Any trends shown are useless and those reporting them know this. They also know most people do not.
Both sides of the aisle are taking advantage of this to sell lies.
EDIT: as an aside, it took me longer to type this post than it did to find the info contained in it.
