I was about to freak out because my parents just got these. But then I remembered, of course they didn’t get Ring cameras, I think they got some off brand cameras whose footage isn’t stored on any cloud, it’s stored on some local hard drive in their house only. Phew!
It’s still retrievable by ICE probably but at least they’d have to get a warrant and shit to go in their house, so there’d be a few roadblocks, rather than just going to some company’s cloud storage that would make it easier for them.
It can still be friction for ICE in court, which is why they take pains to bypass the legal system as much as possible. Once enough of the judiciary have been replaced or cowed, they won’t need to bother.
if it’s local storage they can just delete it automatically and then whatever government assclown would have to be really on top of it to get the footage

Even better! Good thing my parents are too cheap, or too old to know what the name brand things are lol.
