The local uses are not the problem. The problem is that neither Ring nor you can really protect against the larger abuses enabled by this: * Racial profiling: Anybody of incorrect race can be automatically reported, then harassment drone can be deployed. * Government directed assassinations are made much easier. If your government wants you dead, you literally cannot go anywhere. For places with well functioning governments this is all mostly alright. But for places without well functioning governments the expansion of the surveillance sphere becomes pretty much everywhere. Is there a happy ending here? Not likely. But that's not your fault, I totally understand the desire to deploy Ring and kick home intruders and package thieves to the curb.
