Amazon's Ring Cameras Are Hooked Up to ICE System

It’s stupid anyway as all a burglar needs to do is wear a mask to not be identified.

Stop supporting ANYTHING Amazon. Just stop.

You can do it. I quit Amazon a year ago, and I do not miss it.

You don't need Amazon.

I have a security system that's run by a local company.

Get rid of the Ring setup. Get a better security system that's not run by authoritarians.

Or get a dog.

What's a "flock" camera?

That is meaningless. You need to remove power.

The footage is sent over the internet. Several companies have access to it.

+1 Do what you're supposed to do, obey rules and laws, don't commit crimes. Our camera "catches" us in scruffy clothes walking our lab, checking the mail, picking up deliveries, leaving and returning home from work. Feel free to check our Ring info.[/quote]

The current flaw is the lack of competence and capability to do anything with all these cameras. For the overwhelming majority of crime in DC it seems 90% of the time all MPD has some super vague and unhelpful description like "B/M, between 20 and 40, wearing dark clothes" which could match 10,000+ people in the city, and no pictures or video - if they have any pictures or video it's super low res and too poor of a quality to identify anyone.[/quote]They do not want it to be obvious to everyone what they really have.

This is hilarious and really rich coming from the Republican side.

PP here. I voted for Harris. Just sharing what our school system has in place.
