That's the key difference. In the US, public places aren't generally afforded any privacy protections and thus video can be recorded and shared. Police go many places that aren't public, so a significant portion of body cam footage is likely illegal to share.
Of course in this particular case (Ring live streaming) there's a question about whether it's legal or acceptable for police to engage in such practices on a wide scale. An end user doing something once simply isn't the same as a large government agency doing it many times over.
