I won't, can't stop my neighbors though and then the effect is the same.

This reminds me of the "report on your fellow citizens" theme from 1984 that is so common in authoritarian governments and takes the form in the US as "see something, say something". The technology sector is building a surveillance apparatus in cooperation with local government.

Under the agreements with police, law enforcement can monitor this publicly shared information and videos. Police, through Ring, can then request a specific video from a homeowner’s cameras.

Sure, you can choose to share your videos (now), but many will be pressured to comply with requests from LEO. Why wouldn't you help with a lawful investigation? All your neighbors are... do you have something to hide?
