SUMMARY: Amazon-owned Ring announced it will stop allowing police to request doorbell camera footage from users. This move comes after criticism from privacy advocates. The “Request for Assistance” tool, which allows police to request and receive through Ring's Neighbors app, will be sunsetted. The company did not provide a reason for the change.
