I don’t see a problem.
Give the cops the videos they need to convict a drug dealing neighbor.
I get requesting an expanded time frame from the pertinent angle, but video from all cameras, which includes those not facing the area of interest along with those inside the house, is going too far.
Think I’ll keep my security system as my dogs and my gun. Good luck getting a video from one of the dogs...
In theory, I don’t mind police asking for video from outside the house with a REASON, but I’m content having a door people need to knock on.

Then I’m guessing you don’t have a problem with the likes of Peter Strzok seeing everything that happens between you and your wife in the bedroom.
I see no conceivable reason to have to cede footage from the interior of a building -livingroom and bedroom- when the suspect is a neighbor.

The problem is the overreach on the warrant asking for inside his house and store.
The cops have a warrant for ALL of the videos including bedroom ones.

The problem as I see it is that, after initial cooperation, he gets a court order for all his cameras. I understand cameras which may have a view of the areas related to the neighbor's house (target of investigation) but they also wanted data from cameras inside his own house and at his place of business which was nowhere near the neighbor's house and would have no value to the purported investigation.
You can cooperate all you want. But when the government starts demanding access to your private life for no legitimate reason, it's time to raise the red flag.
This time, Larkin wasn’t able to choose which cameras he could send videos from. The warrant included all five of his outdoor cameras, and also added a sixth camera that was inside his house, as well as any videos from cameras associated with his account, which would include the cameras in his store. It would include footage recorded from cameras he had in his living room and bedroom, as well as the 13 cameras he had installed at his store associated with his account.
Do you see the problem now?
