Consumer home security cameras continue to proliferate, and Amazon-owned Ring has been under fire for the way it cooperates with police to share video footage. A newly leaked document indicates the company’s “Law Enforcement Neighborhood Portal” comes with some strings attached. Ring reportedly required at least one police department to promote Ring cameras in exchange for portal access.

Ring’s police portal allows authorized law enforcement officials to request video footage directly from consumers. Legal experts and privacy advocates have expressed concerns over Ring’s police portal even without this newly revealed quid pro quo. Police typically need to go through legal channels to get warrants for videos, but Ring makes it easy for them to collect footage from wide swaths of a community. That video may not be of any help in solving a crime.

Until now, we haven’t known anything about the agreements police departments had with Amazon and Ring. The document provided to Motherboard outlines the agreement between Lakeland, Florida and Amazon. The department is required by the contract to run outreach efforts that encourage consumers to use Ring’s devices. In return, the department gets access to the online video portal.

The agreement even includes mechanisms by which Amazon can track and reward the effectiveness of the department’s shilling. Ring donated 15 doorbell cameras to the department, which police can distribute to the community. Each time a Ring user in the jurisdiction downloads the “Neighbors” app that links them to the portal, the Lakeland police get another $10 toward more free Ring cameras. And of course, the more cameras in the community, the more footage police can request via the portal. The document also requires police to maintain several job postings, including a social media coordinator and press contact for Ring promotions.

Ring recently came under fire for the way it managed user video footage unrelated to the law enforcement portal. The company made videos available to large numbers of employees who were attempting to improve Ring’s insufficient object recognition technology. It even allowed workers to access live video streams from inside customer homes. Ring says video security has since been improved.

Amazon’s legal team requires the Lakeland police department to “keep the terms of this program confidential.” That’s unsurprising considering how sketchy the whole thing seems. Members of a community would naturally expect the police will spend their time investigating crimes and protecting the public, not shilling for an Amazon company that already has a history of bungling basic user privacy.
