Ring Doorbell camera company shuts door on police
SUMMARY: Ring cameras have proven to be incredibly helpful in solving crimes for law enforcement, with West Point Police Chief Avery Cook stating that they have helped solve 75 to 80% of his cases. However, there is now a delay in accessing Ring camera footage, as law enforcement officials can no longer request footage from the app and must instead go through a lengthy process of obtaining a subpoena. The delay in obtaining footage gives criminals an advantage and hinders law enforcement’s ability to solve crimes quickly. Despite this, law enforcement agencies are still committed to doing their jobs to keep communities safe.
