Ring was already “partnered” pretty closely with law enforcement, this is more of a consolidation than a new development. I’ve been saying this since they first floated the concept of CLOUD BASED SURVEILLANCE DOORBELLS but the whole idea is fucked. If you really feel a need for monitoring like that, set it up yourself. A corporation handling it is worse than nothing
