Via Cory Doctorow, we find Amazon's "Live Crime In Your Neighborhood" network is for real. Cops Are Giving Amazon's Ring Your Real-Time 911 Caller Data by Dell Cameron reveals that:
"Amazon-owned home security company Ring is pursuing contracts with police departments that would grant it direct access to real-time emergency dispatch data, Gizmodo has learned.
The California-based company is seeking police departments’ permission to tap into the computer-aided dispatch (CAD) feeds used to automate and improve decisions made by emergency dispatch personnel and cut down on police response times. Ring has requested access to the data streams so it can curate “crime news” posts for its “neighborhood watch” app, Neighbors."
