Most of these are pointed at neighbors' houses, public sidewalks, and streets. So we're not talking about a Ring owner's data, but non-consensual surveillance of other people.
If people weren't pieces of shit we wouldn't have to record everything. But yeah. This is reality and all. Still wouldn't buy this ring Ring shit. It's not hard these days to make your own private setup.
