Once Ring doorbell owners give law enforcement access to video captured by their cameras, police can keep the video as long as they want and share it.
Law enforcement agencies can request access to user video through the company’s Neighbors portal, an extension of its social network app. They do not need to meet any “evidentiary standard” before requesting video, and if users do not want to share the video, they do not have to, Brian Huseman, Ring’s vice president of public policy, said in the letter to Markey’s office.Police do not know the identities of the users and cannot communicate directly with them, Ring said.
The company also does not require departments to put any additional security measures in place to ensure the video is not breached or accessed by unauthorized parties, Huseman said. And if the video is downloaded by the requesting police officer, Ring does not have any restrictions on whom they can share it with and wouldn’t even know who else had seen the video.
As the company continues to improve its technology and look at new techniques, it said it will “continue to prioritize privacy, safety and user control.”
