Key point: "Flock users can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with “evidence collection and investigative work.”

This is not any kind of live link. It is just another way to request a specific video recording be shared by the user. The user has full control. Ring already has the same system in place on their “neighborhood” platform.

Ring just implemented facial rec that cant be turned off by the user and Amazon is buddies with Palantir. If you really think the user has any choice when police come through for an investigation, youve got another thing coming

I appreciate the optimism…

… For now.

Because of the implication.
