If you are grandfathered in to Ring you can turn off all the settings for Police and “pet” surveillance permissions, which are of course default on. Control Center —> public safety and Control Center —> Search Party (this is the one from the Super Bowl ad)
Ring has done this before. They partner with cops, get backlash, withdraw a bit, wait for it to calm down, and then go right back to working with cops. Don't believe this spin.

“We’re getting trashed, trolled, losing fans, and guess what, the water’s fine. Come on in. Nothing to be scared about. No one’s stepped to me in public yet.”
