That's great news. One needn't be anti-cop (I'm certainly not) to agree that government should jump through a hoop or two before seizing images people reasonably believe to be private.
Overall, however, the available data don't support the claim that the availability of Ring videos to law enforcement reduces crime. (On the other hand, a 2022 study of footage posted by users in Los Angeles suggests that the decision of when to label recorded conduct suspicious is often influenced by the stranger's race.)
Do other security cameras do more good? Consider a few examples. By now we're all familiar with the devices mounted above intersections that are supposed to snap pictures of cars that run red lights.
