Ring Ends Partnership with Flock Safety Amid Backlash Over Surveillance

Ring has terminated its partnership with Flock Safety, which aimed to allow law enforcement to request video footage from Ring doorbell users. The decision follows public backlash against a Super Bowl ad promoting Ring's Search Party feature, which raised concerns about surveillance misuse. Ring stated that the integration would require more resources than anticipated, and no customer footage was shared with Flock. This move marks a further distancing from police collaboration after previous controversies over video sharing practices.
