Ring afaik doesn’t allow anyone live-stream access other than the owners and those directly added to the app. Now we’re talking about the ability to give the police department a livestream, something neighbors can’t currently do. They don’t have to build it.

The article says this is just owners allowing access to the company that manages it for the police. How can Ring stop that?

I don’t know how else to explain to you that this is different functionality. When someone is added to the app they have complete control over your Ring, this is not the same thing.

Can you quote where it says this is a different functionality? The statement from Amazon says it's none of their business.
