Police in those communities can use Ring software to request up to 12 hours of video from anyone within half a square mile of a suspected crime scene, covering a 45-day time span, Huseman wrote. Police are required to include a case number for the crime they are investigating, but not any other details or evidence related to the crime or their request.If you own one of those you are a cell in the total surveillance state.
I did not grow up in a surveillance Stasi-type society, nor do I wish to live in one.
If you are on my porch, they can keep the video forever, as will I.
I’ve been ripped off once too often by porch pirates.
Anyone setting foot on my property better have a reason, such as delivering mail, because I think thieves should be flogged on the spot (for first offense, crucified thereafter), and stepping over my property line changes the status from ‘innocent until proved guilty’ to full-on Napoleonic code if anything of mine has disappeared.
Wow, this is terrible.
Who was the NSA who said it..?
“Turn-key totalitarian state”.

Until 18 months ago TONS of PD’s thought they were perfectly entitled to go into driveways and frontyards to retrieve GPS trackers off of cars, or plant them, there, too.
They probably STILL do.
Can it be set up to record to local drive or does it go back to the mother ship? If it can’t be set up to record locally, no thanks!
Guess what, if you’re on Facebook you’re already in the facial recognition system.
homeowners are free to decline the requests.

What the police can get: Motion activated video, a once every 5 minutes snapshot.
What police can't get: answered rings, live video recordings initiated by the homeowner, any video or snapshots by non-subscribers.
As this is disclosed in the user agreement, I'm good with this system. Truthfully, it'll be a rare moment when this option is exercised as honestly, most departments don't have the technical expertise (or investigative time) to go through hundreds of hours of video and images.
Buy Arlo Stock!
Hey at least for now the requests are voluntary.
We have Skybell - not Ring. Better camera and no cozy relationship of turning over video at a moment’s notice. (AFAIK)
I’ve been considering buying one. I’ll look elsewhere now.

This is all on the up and up. I’m pretty sure I read about this in our founding document. What’s that thing called again? Oh yeah The Constitution of The United States. /s
A guy a work was showing me his Ring camera setup the other day. I had no idea that Amazon was involved. He did mention “ the cloud”.
For the same price you can buy your own video surveillance system with the same capabilities but it is all yours with no 3rd party connections.
This same type of situation with ring makes me wonder about the Microsoft Cloud privacy and why I would never use it.

That’s just acknowledging reality. Once something gets downloaded the originator has lost all control.
