"Amazon's Ring Revokes Police Access to User Video Footage"

Amazon's Ring will no longer allow police to request users' doorbell video footage through its "Request for Assistance" tool in the Neighbors app, but public safety agencies can still share safety tips and updates. Police can still obtain Ring video footage using a search warrant or subpoena, and the company may provide footage directly to law enforcement in cases involving imminent danger. The move comes amid controversy over Ring's partnerships with police departments and concerns about privacy and racial profiling. Ring is introducing updates to the Neighbors app, including new post categories and a "Best of Ring" tool.
