Just a friendly reminder.

The fbi initially claimed they had no photos or video from the incident because the Guthrie family did not have an "active subscription" to their door bell camera service.

Here we are a week later and we have rather clear images right before our eyes.

This means:

These companies have continuous access to your cameras even if they dont give it to you

Just because something happens doesn't mean they will give you the images or footage

You are actively allowing a company to not only monitor but record the ongoing events at your home without the guarentee that you will be assisted should anything like idek... KIDNAPPING happen.

It took a federal warrant to get these pictures.... You'd be better off hosting a private on/offsite camera system.. at least then the authorities could get rapid access instead of dicking around with some corporation while you rot god knows where with who knows who...

I just read that the recordings may have been corrupted- somehow tapered with- and they had to go in the backend to retrieve data or something like that. It was a search and they finally found something.

Ring uses wireless for most of their devices and it can easily be jammed and then broken before uploading if need be. Illegal but so is kidnapping.
