He complied, providing video from his doorbell camera that was stored on Ring's servers. After balking at further demands, he subsequently learned that authorities had bypassed the need to get his consent by presenting Ring with a search warrant for video from several of his Ring cameras, including one that covered an indoor area of his home.

This is why I'll never have a camera inside the house, and why the camera on my laptop is covered with electrical tape.
ReplyDeleteI parrot Country Boy, never, ever have one of those infernal spy devices in my house or apartment. I have my own cameras, but are not hooked up through the internet.
ReplyDeleteOh, but those people who warned you about bringing big brother into your home were some tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists, right?
ReplyDeleteLook, I'm an old man and I've heard a few tall tales. They are astute observers of history repeating itself, not wing nut conspiracy nutjobs. The fact you were too stupid to see the signs doesn't give you the right to malign the smarter bunch.
Use RING at your own peril. YOU have been warned.
ReplyDeletePost a photo of Mike Obama's dick in front of the lens.
ReplyDeleteA Ring phone is right up there with the Smart phone on my list of things I'd never go near.
ReplyDeleteGot "Alexa" or "Siri" in your home?
ReplyDeleteI was going to point thwt out. Thanks for beating me to it.
DeleteKeep in mind your text messages are also read and cross referenced to your computer searches.
One of the big things they're after is the web of association. You have Mike's phone number in your contacts. Mike has Kenny's. If something goes down with Kenny, they know to look at you as well.
Nest and Alexa (the worst BY FAR because Alexa has zero processing power and uploads literally everything to the Amazon cloud) have the same issue. Hell, I have a Pixel phone with an insanely sensitive microphone on it that's able to identify what song is playing when I can barely hear it myself. My brother is big into Apple stuff, no doubt it's just as bad.
ReplyDeleteIf you want surveillance, buy wired cameras, use software like Zoneminder, keep them as far as you can from the internet, and have a plan in place for the inevitable day when the police want to review footage.
It's all easier said than done, and will never be as affordable as buying a Ring or Nest like device.
