Doorbell Cameras Like Ring Give Early Warning of Police Searches, FBI Warned
- justjonathan 6y agoTLDR: LE is worried about about ring doorbells recording them. Warning from internal police bulletin: IOT Cameras... “If used during the execution of a search... LE personnel could have their images captured, thereby presenting a risk to their present and future safety.” I was under the impression that LE did not have any right to privacy while engaged in official activities, furthermore it’s unclear what reasonable basis LE might have that images of them engaging in official business would represent a risk to their safety. Sorry, but part of being a member of LE is that you may be recorded while doing your job.
