Amazon's SHOCKING Public Admission About Ring Videos & Cops

Amazon has just admitted in a letter to Sen. Ed Markey that they have been sending footage and recordings from Ring video cameras to police departments across the nation without the consent of the camera’s owner or a search warrant. Markey launched his investigation in hopes of warning the public about the threat of constant surveillance and the lack of privacy brought about by technology. Cenk Uygur, Jessica Burbank, and Mark Thompson discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"Amazon has provided footage from Ring video cameras to police without permission from owners or a court warrant 11 times this year, the company acknowledged in a letter to Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.)

Brian Huseman, Amazon’s vice president of public policy, said in the letter dated July 1 that Ring complied with those requests from law enforcement after making a “good-faith determination” about risk.

Markey had written to Ring last month asking the company to clarify its relationship with American police and to commit to some policy reforms, including never allowing immigration enforcement to request recordings and committing to not incorporating voice recognition tech into its products.”
