The 360 | Should police have access to video doorbell footage?
With the holiday shopping season in full swing, one of the most popular items will likely be doorbell cameras. Products like Ring video doorbells and Google’s Hello, which allow users to watch and record activity at their front doors, have exploded in popularity in recent years.
Police departments argue that the cameras have already proven to be invaluable in solving crimes. Ring’s network allows police to access footage of a potential crime within minutes, making it more likely they can intervene to stop it or catch the perpetrator. Sharing footage is voluntary, which limits concerns about privacy, Ring says.
We shouldn’t trust tech companies or police to follow restrictions“I would be skeptical of any law enforcement agency or company telling me there’s no other way to get access to this [footage].” — Privacy law expert Margot Kaminski to Denver Post
