Can you tap into the ring network from your personal ring account and see ring footage 1000 miles away? Can you use your personal ring account to tell you everywhere a person has been that shows up on your ring camera? Can you just arbitrarily put in a search in your ring account and find that on every ring recording in the country?

You people keep focusing on the singular cameras and not the database the totality of them are building.

Apparently you can.

From that article.

quote:

n case you missed it, this involved allowing AI to analyze footage from connected Ring cameras in the neighborhood to identify and find missing dogs. Camera owners were spooked by what the advert left out about how this sort of technology could be used as a tool for automated mass-surveillance in the future, particularly given that it was turned on by default and required existing users to opt out.

Feel free and change those downvotes to, sorry Boomer, we had no idea this could happen with our little ring cameras.

Where can I opt out of flock? You trying to make a comparison here?

Ring doesn't hide the share function during setup and directly allows you to opt out in the very beginning.

Does Florida allow for redlight cameras?
Yes

Got one for being no more than 3 inches over the white line at a red light. Didnt pay the ticket. Some 3rd party company in Mesa, Arizona took it over. Paid them.

My license was suspended and still is.

Just like everyone reads the TOS and looks over every word when signing a contract. Don't be that gullible that your neighbors do.

You cannot be this stupid. A citizen having surveillance cameras on his own property to view the immediate area around his property is not the same as law enforcement having them to track everyone. And law enforcement would need a warrant or permission from the owner to view the citizens surveillance footage

Dude there is literally a step in the setup that explains it. it's not fine print.

And also.. I can choose to install them or not install them. Can I not?

Again. Where can I opt out of flock?

Can't wait to see in you in a future bodycam video. I assume you have all your Sov Civ paperwork filled out and you are just travelling.

You do not want a surveillance state but have no issues spying on your neighborhood and public areas. If you can't see the hypocrisy, well that is on you. I am sure this is the one private company that would never misuse that data.


Can police randomly search a private citizens Ring camera’s cloud without a warrant?

Does ring create a database separate from a private citizens cloud?

Whatever that means.


I would enjoy not having to pay a ticket for a camera catching my bumper hanging over a white line, though. This intersection didn’t even have lanes through it from the right(I was in the right most lane too).

Is it too much to ask for a human to check the photos and deem me to be fine? I’m an exceptional driver who should be considered an asset out on the roads.
