Amazon says police can keep videos from Ring doorbells forever and share them with anyone

Amazon keeps the video, not you. In theory, police have to get homeowner consent, but with Trump's travails, we've seen how requirements for authorization can be gotten around.

In some communities, the city subsidizes Ring cameras. But part of the deal is, if you accept a subsidized camera, police get access automatically and without needing your consent.
