Ring Reverses Policy on Sharing Video Footage with Police

Ring, owned by Amazon, is discontinuing its Request for Assistance tool, requiring police to obtain a warrant for most video requests, but still allowing them to request footage in emergencies without a warrant. This move comes after years of criticism regarding its relationship with law enforcement. The company is also introducing new features to its Neighbors app, including a "Ring Moments" post category and a "Best of Ring" feed, raising concerns about privacy and transparency.
