      New: The doorbell-camera company Ring has forged partnerships with more than 400 police agencies across the U.S. “If the police demanded every citizen put a camera at their door and give officers access to it, we might all recoil," one law professor said https://wapo.st/2L1DipZ pic.twitter.com/GsTeRDBs90

      It's been a question many of us have been asking for months: How widespread is Ring's police network? Now we know. Use the map here to see if your local officers are involved (and please DM me if you've gotten a request!):https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/08/28/doorbell-camera-firm-ring-has-partnered-with-police-forces-extending-surveillance-reach/ …

      On Amazon, @ProfFerguson says: "If you wanted to design a perfect surveillance state, you'd have wiretaps in every house, cameras in every door (and) a network of informants who tell you when anything is happening … We've created Dystopia Prime b/c it's just so darn convenient"

      Here's the police video-request email Ring sends to users. Note the difference between the big "Share now" button and "Please unsubscribe" link. Also: "If you would like ... to make your neighborhood safer, this is a great opportunity." (Who could say no?) https://wapo.st/2L1DipZ pic.twitter.com/Rv8ffccR2R

          What is the point of the last couple paragraphs which clearly belong in a separate piece? Reading about Ring/ surveillance then abruptly about phones?

          I am honestly confused how this is so diametrically different than manual canvassing? Or, is the issue having cameras in the wild at all? The world has changed -- people have thousands of dollars left on their doorsteps, are they supposed to do nothing to protect it?

          So in a nutshell, cops spy on you through your neighbor's doorbell camera enabled by Amazon.
