There are regions in the US where the police have the ability to commandeer your ring doorbell for enforcement purposes. It’s surveillance state equipment. I’m glad the kids were safe but I don’t want police watching cameras throughout the neighborhood, who comes and goes in your house etc.
A while back there was a ‘request’ from some local LEO officials to have all the ‘RING type’ door cameras linked to the PD’s.......................
The couple who will install our security system attends the big trade fairs.
She told me they learned that technology for the Ring style systems is very scary. If you go to someone’s house that has the camera, Big Brother connects you with the residents at the house, harvests your biometrics for facial recognition, and your cell phone data (if you have it with you).
You could be the Avon Lady or Fuller Brush Man, and the residents could be on the sex watch list, drug dealers, etc. It doesn’t matter. You and they will be “together forever” as far as the government is concerned.
This disturbed these people so much they’re probably going to close the business. It’s just too much. (They’ll be fine. Have probably made a bazillion dollars over the years.)
