You can. Can the average Ring system user? My wife, bless her, struggles with tech and wouldn’t know what to do. Maybe there’s a video save button, then what? You email it to a police station email address? Where would she find a police station’s email address? Maybe she calls them and they tell her. What if the video file is too large for her email client? That’s a road block right there for her, she’d come to me for help with. What if I’m not available? What if there’s simply not much time for me to trim the video file and send it in pieces?
This is mostly whataboutism, but then again, the other side of this argument kind of is too. Sure maybe I send the cops a video, and maybe they recognize the person and go to their home. What are then the odds that the person is discriminated against or presumed guilty by the officer?
Anyway, the one click button is a feature that I don’t think deserves the flack. If the police are doing their jobs, they won’t just go in guns blazing on a guy just because he was snooping around my parked car in the driveway and I shot the video over.

- starttoaster 3y agoThat presumes that an officer is present, whereas this is a remote sharing feature, correct? So you’re not really giving a comparable option.
