unless you have a ring camera, in which case police might not bother going after criminals but they are still very interested in your footage and can take it without even asking.

- teddyh 4y agoI’d guess that this is exactly because the police don’t have to ask for the footage. I imagine that the police like to virtually skulk around like this whenever they can: It’s risk-free, and it feels productive, and if something happens they can just choose to ignore it if they feel like it, since nobody can see them ignore it.
