Uhh, they pretty much buried the lede here:
> The specific incident in question was a grand larceny case where two men tried (and failed) to steal a robot owned and operated by Serve Robotics, which ultimately wants to deploy “up to 2,000 robots” to deliver food for UberEats in Los Angeles. The suspects were arrested and convicted.
So two guys try to steal a machine that has a video camera attached to it, and then the company that owns that machine turns over the video to police to help catch the guys who tried to steal their property in the first place.
And why did someone think this was worthy of an article? If a homeowner suffers a breakin and their Ring video is turned over to police, am I supposed to be shocked or surprised or something?
When media sites try to make "big conspiracy vibes" to something that is imminently reasonable they just end up looking like total ass clowns, and it obscures valid concerns people can have about mass surveillance.
