The privacy loophole in your doorbell (politico.com)

The police in my city encourage people to register their ring cameras, saying if a crime has been committed they may ask to see the footage and how it is entirely voluntary. Articles like this show that you need to be skeptical of any claims from the police about something being voluntary.

Considering Amazon-owned Ring's very close relationship with law enforcement agencies, this isn't surprising but very alarming. Everyone should read this and contact your elected officials.

I set video storage time on my Ring to 3 days and turn off audio recording. Probably won’t give me much added privacy as long I’m in Bezos’ ecosystem.
