In all of the EFF's writing they make it sound like the police are tapping into Ring cameras and snooping without owner being aware. In ALL scenarios they have written about, it's been users pushing their content to the police. The owner of the Ring camera is either specifying to share a specific bit of footage around an event to their local police OR in this case the owner is specifying they want to stream their Ring / Security footage to some service which the police can use. They always mention this as an aside like it's not important.
I am so frustrated with the continued alarmist reporting from the EFF around Ring cameras. Can't we get information without all the fear mongering? Look at the title of this article and look at the comments. People don't read the content-- they just read the title.
