They [Hamilton Ohio police] asked for more footage, now from the entire day’s worth of records. And a week later, Larkin received a notice from Ring itself: The company had received a warrant, signed by a local judge. The notice informed him it was obligated to send footage from more than 20 cameras — whether or not Larkin was willing to share it himself.

Many of those cameras were at his business, at a completely different location, some of them were inside his home, with no visibility of the places being investigated.
