      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.
