I don’t like being on the side defending Amazon but

“For Ring users, the process is the same. Your privacy and control over your videos and information are non-negotiable, and your participation is completely optional. Public safety agencies can't see who received a notification or who chose not to respond. You can even turn off Community Request notifications altogether if you prefer. By combining community safety with strong privacy protections, Community Requests respects individual choice while helping neighborhoods thrive.”

It sounds like you’d get a notification when an agency asks for footage and you can accept decline or ignore.

I still don’t like it . Way too many avenues for abuse
