This is a stretch. Apparently ring camera owners can send video to police and the article say they may be biased when they send things. I can see it a bit. Its like the person who is constantly complaining about kids hanging around sending video as opposed to someone sending video of an actual crime in action. I think police have to deal with this type of thing anyway but it likely does make it so convenient they will get that much more of it and it takes time to look over every single video.
