    If you think they’ll use it to find the package thief, you’re fooling yourself.

    All these cameras do is give you a memento of the theft or other event. They do nothing to stop crime, and cops DGAF about looking at your video:

    “Yep, that’s a video of a guy stealing your truck from your driveway. Prolly should’a put it in the garage.”

      When my car was stolen the police and the county toll road authority both confirmed that neither would bother co-ordinating when my toll tag in that car registered on the toll road sensors.

    Someone told me that they can request your video/audio but you can decline/ignore the request. I haven’t verified this because I will never own anything like it.

    Primarily had my ring camera as a deterant to some dickish neighborhood kids doing some vandalism. Since they’ve stopped their hijinks, maybe I’ll just point the camera at a print of goatse for a while until it runs out of battery.
