MARKEY: The police should have to get a warrant in the same way they do in any other situation. SIMON: In other words, police should get a warrant. It just can't be an exception because it's available. MARKEY: The standard should be, has there been a process that guarantees that the American people are allowed to know that there has been a false choice made between their safety and their privacy? But if this information is compromised, it should have to go through the same legal process that any other search of private property would have to go through in our country.
If it helps save someone, does that make it all right? SIMON: Amazon says, though, that it provides that information only when there's imminent danger of death or serious physical injury. And Ring revealed that it has shared user recordings with law enforcement through a process that does not require user consent. So this is turning into a partnership between Amazon and the police of the United States of America. MARKEY: Yeah, and those numbers, by the way, that you just mentioned, are a fivefold increase in law enforcement on its platform just since 2019. And they have an online portal where they can request the data in cases of life-threatening emergencies. SIMON: In that letter to you, I gather, Senator, they said that more than 2,000 law enforcement agencies and more than 450 fire departments are enrolled in what they call its Neighbors safety app. Senator, thanks so much for being with us.ĮD MARKEY: Oh, great to be with you. We're joined now by the Democratic senator from Massachusetts, Ed Markey. And in a response to his inquiry, the company said it provided video footage 11 times so far this year when an emergency request was made. Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey is investigating the matter. But how secure is the information they absorb about us? Amazon, which we should note, is an NPR underwriter, has revealed that they've shared video and information from their Ring cameras with law enforcement officials without consent or warrant. They can provide convenience and security. Are they wrong? So-called smart devices are pretty nosey and invasive - listening, watching and always alert. A lot of people feel they're always being listened to and watched.
