what a dystopian article and idea. Homeowners should be prevented from sending Ring video footage to police because there is a risk that these videos might be used to report innocent racial minorities to the police. The presence of this risk apparently outweighs the obvious benefit that one can send videos of real criminals to police. What's next, not being able to call 911?

Criminals are victimizers, not victims. It is UNETHICAL to coerce people into not reporting a crime because of perceived identity-politics based risks. It causes increased harm in the world because criminals who escape are free to victimize again, and do. The authors of this article, and editors at Wired, are participating in unethical, immoral behavior and they should be ashamed of themselves!
