This was pretty scary. The rise of the surveillance state via Amazon.

Also, I am a prosecutor, and have seen several instances where no one died and the camera caught the thief/offender, and also several where a person realized there was a camera and turned around.

I literally don’t care if you’re mad that my camera catches your front yard. It’s out there in public. Deal with it.

So what? The police can see how many delivery people came to my door on any given day?

Aside from that - this is a good thing. The NYPD just announced a partnership with Ring for that very same thing. Catching package thieves and people breaking into homes isn't a bad thing.

Home systems like Ring are also the reason we're solving a lot more domestic murder cases too.

Shanann Watt's neighbor caught her husband moving her body in the early morning hours



Kelsey Berreth last moments were caught on camera as she entered into her home with her fiance killer

Yup.

And local murder of a mom of 5 in Ashburn by her husband, Brauilo Castillo. A neighbors camera caught him entering in the house.

So those cameras don't really help much. I don't care if cameras catch my killer after the fact. What keeps people safe is having close, trusting relationships with their community members, and recording everyone is the exact opposite of that.

Your ring video won't save you, or your packages, or your children who are home alone.

I don’t think that is even close to the topic at hand, but I know where you are going with this, and thanks for playing.

What do you mean, where I'm going with this? I stated my opinion. Having a ring video doesn't prevent break ins or thefts or murders. Per the posts above.

People who have those Ring videos are self-important, self-absorbed and paranoid, and the exact opposite of neighborly -- as this thread has illustrated.

Neighborly? If some asshole comes to my house to case the place or steal packages, I want it recorded. Also, when my kids are home alone , I can see who rings the doorbell on my phone. Not worried about being neighborly to people I did not invite over.

Yes!

To those sane PPs like this one, should I call her out next time and how? Or just ignore? Or call the cops?

It depends on what she's doing. Is she doing something illegal (taking your mail) or peeping in your windows or something else equally unnerving?

Equally unnerving.

You need your SSRIs adjusted. The dosage is clearly off.

Did you invent that retort? So funny. No, wait, I've read that a bazillion times, on this site alone.

DP here. Then maybe, just maybe, it’s true.
