Policing of the American Porch

The growth of easy-to-install home-surveillance equipment, and in particular doorbell cameras, has changed American life in ways obvious and subtle. Marketed in part as a solution to package theft, which has grown alongside e-commerce, especially from Amazon, Ring has found an ally in law enforcement.

More than 500 police departments have partnered with the company, gaining access to a service called Neighbors Portal, which allows users to “ask Ring to request video footage from device owners who are in the area of an active investigation,” according to the company. (This footage is often shared by law enforcement with media organizations for broadcast segments.) Some police departments assist in marketing Ring devices to local citizens, in some cases offering government-subsidized discounts, according to documents obtained by Vice.

I avoid Amazon whenever possible and I don't have ring or a doorbell camera. I don't even lock my van at night, but then I don't look like I have a lot to steal even though my tools are worth way more than the van
:D

This has proven to be a good deterrent against Injuns "borrowing" my stuff since I have installed cameras. Word must travel in that community, haven't even seen oyarde sneaking around outside.

People look at me weird when I tell them I have never used Amazon. Fuck em. No doorbell cam either. Living dangerously!

I don't have a doorbell cam either. Doorbell hasn't even worked the past couple years until my dad recently fixed it a couple months back.

Your Doorbell Camera Spied on You. Now What?

By default, the Ring app will send you notifications when law enforcement agencies are seeking video footage from you to aid them in investigations.
This feature may sound altruistic, but there is a problem with the approach. Notifications are a nuisance, especially when you are in the middle of doing something important, so you might accidentally agree to share footage just to make the notification go away.

The FT reports that local law enforcement departments on the platform asked for Ring videos for a total of more than 22,335 incidents in 2020. The disclosure data from Ring also shows that law enforcement made some 1,900 requests — such as subpoenas, search warrants, and court orders— for footage or data from Ring cameras even after the device owner has denied the request. Amazon complied with such requests 57 percent of the time, its figures show, down from 68 percent in 2019.

Privacy advocates have raised concerns about how Ring data is used by and made available to law enforcement. Ring’s Neighbors app, which allows Ring users to share videos with others nearby has been criticized for containing racist comments and reports. And a report from NBC News last February found that Ring footage wasn’t all that helpful for solving crimes. When it was useful, the Ring footage was mostly used for low-level non-violent property crimes (like the theft of a Nintendo Switch).

Ring began adding support for end-to-end encryption on its cameras earlier this month.

Maybe, but his wife still has it.

I think it really sucks when an individual or company sets up a surveillance system to monitor their own property and the Government Mandates that you must turn it over to them. If you don't have it you have nothing to turn over.

"Comrade, if you do not have the system for us to surveil through, you must be hiding something from us."
