- Comment on How does ICE track people??? 6 days ago:
According to Ring’s policy, they state that they ask for user’s permission to get the footage. However, as the article mentions (but fails to provide sources actually) the Ring cameras have provided footage to law enforcement without a warrant or user’s consent 11 times in 2022. Therefore while on paper, they are supposed to ask the user, they were already times where this was completely ignored, and could mean that the same could happen in the future.
The Intercept article about it (source that this article failed to include):
https://theintercept.com/2022/07/13/amazon-ring-camera-footage-police-ed-markey/
‘Although Ring publicizes its policy of handing over camera footage only if the owner agrees — or if judge signs a search warrant — the company says it also reserves the right to supply police with footage in “emergencies,” defined broadly as “cases involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to any person.” Markey had also asked Amazon to clarify what exactly constitutes such an “emergency situation,” and how many times audiovisual surveillance data has been provided under such circumstances. Amazon declined to elaborate on how it defines these emergencies beyond “imminent danger of death or serious physical injury,” stating only that “Ring makes a good-faith determination whether the request meets the well-known standard.” Huseman noted that it has complied with 11 emergency requests this year alone but did not provide details as to what the cases or Ring’s “good-faith determination” entailed.’
Also there is a NY Times article about it:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/business/amazon-ring-doorbell-camera-police.html
“In the letter, Amazon’s vice president of public policy, Brian Huseman, also said that Amazon had shared Ring footage with law enforcement 11 times in 2022 using a process that does not require the user’s consent.”

Ring doorbell cameras announced a partnership with Flock, which in turn has already been sharing information with ICE.
“Law enforcement agencies using Flock software can now issue Ring footage requests specifying location, timeframe, and case details, a move first reported by TechCrunch.”

- Comment on Proof that the ICE victim was shot AFTER he was already disarmed 2 weeks ago:
Still, it is always good to have objective proof. Hopefully these people will get prosecuted one day, and when that day comes, we will be ready with all the necessary evidence.
- Comment on Proof that the ICE victim was shot AFTER he was already disarmed 2 weeks ago:
Yup :(
And as other people pointed out, even if the gun wasn’t taken by ICE agents, still, more than 6 people were holding onto his every limb. His hands were far away from the holster. There is absolutely no objective reason for even one of these agents to feel in danger.

- Comment on ICE Agents pepper spray, beat up, and kill a person, after forcefully capturing him. 2 weeks ago:
The agent that shot him clearly saw that the gun was already taken away and the victim didn’t have it. I will post the proof shortly

Probably yes, but hopefully not

A good person already cross-posted this post to that sub :)
- Comment on The Archive of Crimes of ICE 3 weeks ago:
Also just added a warning to the contact page about the e-mail usage
- Comment on The Archive of Crimes of ICE 3 weeks ago:
Thank you for the advice
We are already working on methods of decentralized sharing of the archive. Even now, the documents, videos and the database are backed up on other systems
The website is only a front end, so many users have easy access to the files
- Comment on The Archive of Crimes of ICE 3 weeks ago:
Unfortunately yes :(
- Comment on The Archive of Crimes of ICE 3 weeks ago:
It is not an issue, at least for now
If we assume that a video is 50 Mb, then 1 Tb will be enough to have 20 900 videos. So we still have a long way to go :)
- Comment on The Archive of Crimes of ICE 3 weeks ago:
Great idea! Will do so soon
