Sure, but in the UK the PACE Act and GDPR means the Police have to go through legal channels to request footage. What I'm saying is that can easily change, especially if your Goverment/Agencies do not respect laws. Probably best to just not have the tech at all.

Yep, it’s happening. As predicted.
So, if you ever wondered why people who understand surveillance are salty about video cameras on doorbells...
It's only a matter of time before they get co-opted into mass surveillance. And if the regime you live under changes that's you spying on your neighbours.
