Ring, meanwhile, could be leveraging the UFO hysteria as a cheeky bid to convince customers that it is not a privacy nightmare. Politico revealed in a report this March that the company handed over a full day’s worth of Ring footage without the consent of the customer using it. The customer previously complied with law enforcement’s request for footage from his doorbell during an investigation of his neighbor, but that same law enforcement used the court system to obtain even more. In many major cities, law enforcement officers have access to a special portal through which they can request Ring footage from the gadget’s massive network of devices.

Yep, seems about right.
