I don't understand what you find confusing about this. If a court can order that all camera footage from a citizen be provided to law enforcement at any time for any reason (in the case cited the individual wasn't a suspect, he just happened to have an external camera that might have shown an actual suspect) then you have a surveillance infrastructure. The citizen in question got tired of doing the police's job for them as they widened their dragnet, so they just demanded his entire account from Ring, which included cameras inside his home. Which Ring provided without hesitation, and the best part is that they paid for this "service".
