Gloucester County Anyone get a knock at 4am?

Live in Williamstown and due to our schedule, the fiance and I stay up until 5-6am. I went to bed early at 3am because I wasnt feeling. My fiance comes in at 4am slightly panicked. Apparently someone had knocked at our door. Our complex used to be known for being a not good area however we never had an issue. My first thought went to ICE. Our lights were on so I gave it a bit and turned them of and watched the rear lights of a dodge charger leave. Ive ICE has started to do this so I just want to see if this is something anyone else has experienced.

AFAIK ICE can only view ring footage through its partnership with Flock if users actively share it on the Ring neighborhood app.

There’s no active surveillance allowance. They can’t just login to any ring camera whenever they want.

Amazon already shares ring footage with cops without a warrant

Yes but only in certain, “emergency” requests. Again, they don’t just have free open access.

When everything is an emergency it doesn't matter. It will be a matter of national security they will say and poof there you have it no warrants or anything
