Ring Doorbell Sharing Data With ICE
Ring doorbell cameras now share data with ICE through a Flock Safety partnerships. Law enforcement can access your footage without notification.
In October 2025, Amazon’s Ring partnered with Flock Safety; a surveillance company used by ICE, Secret Service, and federal agencies. This means your Ring doorbell could be feeding into a massive law enforcement surveillance network without your knowledge.
In 2022, Amazon admitted giving police Ring videos 11 times without owner permission or warrants. With this new partnership, millions of Ring cameras could now be accessible to law enforcement agencies. Here’s how to protect your privacy in 3 steps.
Smash Your Ring Camera
Break down on how Ring cameras and Flock Safety have quietly built a massive surveillance network that reaches far beyond your front porch.

Ring’s partnerships with police departments work, how shared footage can travel far beyond your control, and why posting videos to apps like Neighbors can have serious consequences for delivery workers, undocumented people, and everyday community members. Also explained is what Ring claims about privacy, why those assurances fall apart in practice, and what safer alternatives exist if you want home security without feeding a surveillance pipeline.
