I was gonna say, I’m not sure this would hold up to legal scrutiny, not that that makes it ok in the first place.

This isn’t legal where I live. It’s not allowed to record public spaces

Completely legal in the US.

I really don’t think so.

Sorry to hear you feel that way. It can be tough to be confronted with something you’ve always felt was true but turns out to be false.

Same here. All private cameras that record or process data need to be announced on entrance of a property. Though now that i think about it, idk how ring got passed that law to begin with

It doesn’t comply… but the responsibility falls on the person who mounts/uses the hardware, so Amazon does whatever they want.

Same as non-legal ebikes perhaps? Where I live the police don’t seem to care unless the rider happens to be a drug dealer or otherwise wanted by the police.
I’d take a guess that while a ring doorbell might be illegal and not enforced, it probably means the recorded footage might be not accepted in court if ever needed… Perhaps (I’m not a lawyer or even closed SE to an expert). Unless a doorbell inspector becomes a thing then it probably just slides.
