They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.

    That’s great, right up until Ring unilaterally decides to…

    Which is a completely different topic than the one I quoted. The article said that equipment owners shouldn’t be able to provide their videos to the police without the police first getting a warrant, which is an utterly ridiculous position to take.

    OBVIOUSLY the police should have a warrant to get the video without the equipment owner’s permission, but that’s not what the author said.

      Absolutely fair response. I’m sorry that I came across as attacking your point. I just meant to provide another reason why the cameras shouldn’t be recommended, using the context of your quote from the article. I’m sorry that I wasn’t clear about that.

        Got it, my misunderstanding…

        And I do agree with your added concern.
