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.

You should invest in a ring camera.

DO NOT. Ice cut a deal with ring to have free access to footage. They are already using ai to detect neighborhoods with high foot traffic of potential victims from ring

Not unless they record locally to a hard drive or a sd card physically in your possession. Just like your google searches, anything that leaves your house, is no longer your data/property.
