Quoting: keybored 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.

Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

I provided footage to cops and it helped catching an arsonist who liked to set random cars on fire in my town. |

And guess what that tells the police department. Who to look for. And I am 100% ok with it. |

The cops aren't accessing cameras without the owners permission but they way the story is headlined it alludes that they are. They have to request to get access to view a video. They're just making a framework to make this process seamless. It would be no different than if a policeman came and knocked on your door and said, between such and such times there was a crime can we get a copy of the video. They're just making the process electronic. You can opt-in and opt out at any time. |
