Ring Is Teaching Cops How To Obtain Doorbell Camera Footage Without A Warrant

To be part of your local law enforcement's surveillance network, all you need is a little tech from Amazon. Amazon's Ring doorbell/camera is being handed out to cops, who can then give them to citizens with the implication the recipients of this corporate/government largesse will deliver recordings upon request.

Your average city-dweller, it is said, will be caught on CCTV footage 75 times a day.

In addition to traditional store and work CCTV, your neighbors have cameras on their houses, there are cameras at traffic intersections. Elevators have them, as well as many people's cars.

Add to that, every single person over the age of 7 carries with them at all times, a personal HDTV, network connected camera which many use to document every part of their day..
 
Actually, according to what the contract with the company is, the footage taken from the doorbell is stored on the cloud for around either 2 weeks or 2 months (forget what the news article said), and the only people that can access the footage is the homeowner, but, they have the option to use the footage any way they choose, which includes giving it to the police.
