Ring has a "neighborhood" app where you can post videos for public consumption. I posted a video of a porch pirate stealing one of my packages.
EBRSO saw it, came to my house and requested I file a report because they were building a case against the guy.
Two days later the detectives called me saying they arrested the thief.
I was supremely impressed with EBRSO throughout the process and have no issues with EBRSO seeing that video.
What I would not want is EBRSO accessing my data that I do not post for public viewing.

Nope. Once you as the user consent to Amazon or Google or whoever to use your data in your T and A, you effectively hand it over to whoever wants it.
Google does this all the time with their search data and email.

I despise all things Amazon. Between my wife's spending sprees to Alexa asking kids if they want to order crap to this dumb shite. frick Amazon.
I don't like Alexa, and I now hate my RING cameras. But otherwise I like Amazon and Wal Mart a lot. I love getting cheap shite sent to my door.

Ring handed over private recordings, including video and audio, without letting users know that police had access to—and potentially downloaded—their data.

That has to be illegal
I'll bet the EULA (that NOBODY ever reads before clicking on "I Agree") has language in it giving Amazon access to that data.
