>I realize a lot of people on HN are super privacy minded and a Ring is not for them, but realistically if you buy a Ring you WANT to protect your home/family in which case you would happily hand over footage if police were investigating a robbery next door. that's a pretty cherry-picked case. how does 'protecting your family' apply when your own footage is misinterpreted to convict a family member? surveillance panopticon goes both ways, it can just as easily provide what appears to be damning evidence against the actual innocent. here's my problem: evidence gathering has outpaced reliable evidence interpretation. Ring doesn't solve this problem, but it does amplify it. This isn't all catching criminals and guilty, as with any surveillance there are second order effects as well as just absolute inaccuracy. How many innocent husbands/wives have been dumped by significant others by sheer misinterpretation of GPS data or otherwise seemingly damning evidence from a phone or mobile account? The People In Charge do this daily and with far greater consequence for those that find themselves under the gavel.
