Over 400 US police forces have access to the video footage generated by Amazon’s “smart” Ring doorbells, creating an unprecedented - and largely unaccountable - surveillance network outside existing legal structures. Video-sharing partnerships allow law enforcement to automatically request video from Ring owners within a designated timeframe and area, giving them access to millions of cameras that police claim have proved invaluable for investigations. Officers are not supposed to receive access to live-streaming video, and users can deny the footage requests – which come in the form of emails thanking them for “making your neighborhood a safer place” –but they don’t always have the option of saying “no.” [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] Is there nothing they don't spy on with their equipment? Quoting: keybored [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] can't really blame the human element of "corruption" to useful methods of solving crimes? same goes to all the asshats that hide behind alphabet agencies, gotta weed out all the bad apples, blaming the "whole" doesn't solve anything.
