"Amazon Bans Police from Requesting Ring Doorbell Video"

Amazon's Ring doorbell system will no longer allow police to solicit video footage through its "Request for Assistance" tool, following criticism for sharing users' doorbell camera footage with law enforcement without consent. Ring, owned by Amazon, will still permit public safety agencies to use its Neighbors app for sharing safety tips and community updates, but law enforcement will need a warrant to seize and view footage from Ring products. The move comes after an investigation led by Sen. Ed Markey revealed privacy violations and data sharing with police departments, prompting Amazon to address ongoing issues related to privacy violations and data sharing with police departments.
