Unfortunately the law doesn't care whether you're ignorant of the law or not. Whilst it might not be a consideration for the purchaser the simple fact is that should you be required by law to provide footage you have to provide it, certainly for UK and, from the article, Netherland residents; like it or not. The article is clickbait as best. It's trying to make out standard police procedure is some kind of state overreach. Now I know it's fashionable to critique the police for everything so this sort of nonsense is commonplace but seriously if you were subject to sone form of crime where the only evidence/line of enquiry was on someone's doorbell cam and you pointed that camera out to the police, what would be your reaction if the police turned round and said: "yeah nothing we can do the owner said no"? You'd be on here rightly critising that truly ridiculous situation.
