Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I don't know, this sounds like what they do in London.
Edit: I'm not saying that's a good thing, I'm saying it didn't get rid of cameras. It increased their numbers vastly.
do they have access to private video cameras in London or are those all government cameras?
I don't think they have access to private cameras, but why would they need them when there are government cameras literally everywhere? I don't know if you've been to London, but there are cameras on virtually every light pole. There are literally tens of thousands of government surveillance cameras in the UK.
This is not an unusual sight:
If they can't access private cameras, they will add so many public ones that they aren't necessary. It's a bigger problem than just access to private cameras.
I’m not actually against public security cameras. I think London is a bit much, but hey—they caught that crime.
I read this and think: must be cheaper than setting up their own cameras at every corner
So Ring shuts down their free access, not even two months ago, and they want to force it again somehow? Without a warrant?
Correction: this is an article from before Ring changed the policy.
