Ring Opens Up Data On Law Enforcement Partners

Los Angeles-based Ring, the maker of doorbell and security camera systems, has opened up on which law enforcement agencies it is working on. Ring released a map of all the departments with access to its Ring Neighbor Portal, the company's portal which lets local law enforcement agencies request doorbell video from Ring's customers, without the need for a warrant. The map also lets users see what date Ring started partnering with those 405 law enforcement agencies. There has been some concern over Ring's cozying up to law enforcement, and what that means for privacy.
