Warrantless access may still be granted during vaguely defined “emergencies.”

    So they haven’t stopped, they’re just making sure to cover their asses when they do hand over access/footage…

    It didn’t grant access to video. It just allowed public safety to say “Hey, everyone in this area, we had an incident and would like video if you have it and are willing to share it.” The owner then had to manually share the video with the public safety agency in the app. The loss of this valuable tool actually harms public safety and make is more difficult and time consuming to solve crimes.

      Any incident is unfortunate I understand that but no singular incident is as atrocious as the prison industrial complex. America has 25% of the world’s prison population. Anything that disrupts the police’s ability to funnel more people into prison labor is a good thing. Yes those incidents suck but the larger disaster is our prison slaver and our of control police.
