From the article, this simply creates a portal that allows the police to request Ring owners in one area to share footage with them, and it is up to the owners to then agree, at which point I expect the Ring device will automatically send the requested footage to the police.<p>If that's indeed what they do I really don't see any issues, on the contrary that sounds like the way forward.<p>Currently police has to go door to door to ask neighbours if they have any CCTV and then get the SD cards or what not in order to recover footage.
