Technically, this was created for safety purposes. However, it seemed like it was also meant to be used as evidence that will unfold mysterious crime incidents that may happen along with your neighborhood.
Ring-- a doorbell company, recently allowed more than 400 police officers in the United States to have access with camera footages taken at front doors of private homes in numerous neighborhoods in the country.
In this way, police agencies will have access, whether someone suspicious is outside of anyone's homes.
Unfortunately, this cautious act of US police seemed to be recently tested not by one but two cases of murder and attempted murder on the town as they were both caught using footage from a doorbell camera.
