Camera-equipped 'smart' doorbells are becoming increasingly common. But Ring, now owned by Amazon, is pushing the camera network as a tool for police. For some, that raises privacy concerns. (wosunews)
“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.
