You shouldn't be surprised to discover that the definition of "when" and "area" can be very flexible to maximize data collection. Car break in happened 6 months ago - good enough justify a crime having occurred. The break-in was 20 miles away? Well, that's driving distance, so it qualifies as the same "area".

Look at your local PD's crime map and you will discover that this is a recipe for perpetual mass surveillance. Good luck keeping this footage from the NSA and FBI. I'm counting down the days to the first person who'll be busted and their Ring will be the first hostile "witness"

No issue then since the government and police especially have a good track record of following policies and rules that’s aren’t the law. /s

Only be able to access it when a crime occurs how? They’ll get a warrant or an officer says a crime occurred and asks for access?
