11 emergencies a year across the US sounds perfectly reasonable.


Sure. What were the emergencies though? Police knew a ring cam had evidence of a murder on it? Or police knew ring cam had some footage of where they dropped their keys last night?

Who defines emergency? If its the police then anything they need it for is an emergency.


Also if it’s really an “emergency” then they should be able to use the existing warrant process


Getting a warrant from a judge typically takes a few hours.

It can be faster in emergencies, but in the “cases involving imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to any person” this is about, I don't know that it's practical.


In what situation does previously recorded footage on a ring camera need to be accessed as evidence in sooner than a few hours? This footage isnt being used in crime prevention.
