Amazon Is Coaching Cops on How to Obtain Surveillance Footage Without a Warrant

I do agree that the way they seem to play both angles puts them in an awkward position, but I am unsure how to read this. Is it worse if people voluntarily share video versus being ordered to? Is it just a matter of ensuring there is good reason to obtain the footage or is voluntarily obtained footage worse from the perspective of personal rights?

Curious to hear the HN reactions since I frankly do not know enough about the implications to understand what’s really going on even after having read the article.

It kind of reads as “social media bad” near the end which is a seriously uncompelling point even if true in some senses.
