In a new announcement, Ring to now require warrants to share your video with law enforcement
This week, we are also sunsetting the Request for Assistance (RFA) tool. Public safety agencies like fire and police departments can still use the Neighbors app to share helpful safety tips, updates, and community events. They will no longer be able to use the RFA tool to request and receive video in the app.
Ring ends feature that let police ask users for videos via Neighbors app.

more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
