“I had one person come up there looking for packages, and as soon as they saw it, they turned around and walked out,” Pucillo says, snapping his fingers. “But as far as me feeling like do I feel safe, do I not feel safe—for me it’s just like kind of a security blanket.”
The partnership between the Columbus Division of Police and Ring started with an email in January of last year. Officer Greg Colarich reached out to the company asking if there was any way Ring could"allow customers to easily share video or voluntarily grant access" to law enforcement. The company got back to him the following day, and over the next year Ring and the division negotiated a partnership.
Officers can target the place where an incident occurred and then request footage from users in that area. Guariglia is also concerned police will sidestep the homeowner approval process and issue a warrant straight to Amazon. In an email, a Ring spokesman acknowledges the company will turn over footage in response to a warrant, but that it will object if it determines the demand is overbroad, inappropriate or vague.
If anything, it seems the division was worried it may be getting too close to Ring. In an October email, Colarich explained removing elements of the agreement because they might appear to be an endorsement of the company.
iZarzecki wosunews The articles, preaching this, are nothing but scare pieces. This is the future, police asking digitally for video is no different than police asking in person.

wosunews I think the interesting aspect of this article is: That provision was quickly dropped, but Columbus Police did accept a donation of 90 doorbells in April. It also receives a free doorbell for every 20 people who join Ring’s Neighbors app through a Columbus Police link.
wosunews Privacy? If you think you have any privacy when you’re standing on my front porch you are wrong.
wosunews When my home was burglarized last year, the numbskull cop kept asking if i had video, even tho i told him i didnt have a camera. Then he told me to ask my neighbors if they had any. Mind you, they had ALREADY caught the guy.
wosunews Privacy concern? Presumably whomever is recorded by ring is out in public and thus has no inherent right of privacy
wosunews You misspelled “For ‘the sentient’, that raises privacy concerns.”
wosunews I would love it if the police could’ve used the footage I had of a package thief to catch the idiot, I doubt they can do any better with an entire network of footage. The police are poor at performance, at least here in Minneapolis
wosunews For 'some'?
wosunews I'm shocked...shocked...I tell you that Amazon would do anything that would raise privacy concerns.
