But you’re opted into the automatic detection, regardless. Ring is still processing your video still to see if there’s a match to any Search Party unless you turn the feature off.

At what point will the police request a warrant to run their own Search Party without consent?

So what? It already processes my video to detect people walking toward my house. Thats why I bought a smart camera not a dumb camera

A dog isn’t even on par to identifying humans. But let’s suppose if there’s a shooter on the run and my camera detects it, would I share that. Yes of course. Why wouldn’t I?

These kinds of systems tends to also be used by abusive policemen monitoring their exes, and police tracking members of undesirable (but legal) activist groups, etc.

See, I have no problem with searches that involve warrants and probably cause. They could already violate the shit out of your privacy with a warrant. That's kind of the point of a warrant.

Yep but Ring doesn't require warrants to hand over your video if police say "it's an emergency". https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/amazon-ring-stop...

If you don't require warrants as long as the requester uses magic words, then you just don’t require warrants, period.
