How do you define this though. If someone say talks about XYZ politician. And the current governor feels if said XYZ person takes his position that it’d cause you personal harm. Can the current governor access your camera?
If a police officer comes to your house without a warrant are they allowed to break in? If not they shouldn’t be given access to my camera feeds without my permission.
The move by google here just re-affirmed that I made the right choice to not buy their products.

I am not a lawyer. But, there seems to be a pretty clear difference here. If you have time to ask google you have time to call a judge. If you don’t have time to call a judge, google doesn’t have time to vet your decision and is effectively just streaming your cameras to your law enforcement office.
The right time/place to argue this question is after the fact in front of a judge.
Yeah like police always follow the law.

Absolutely. If they hear gunshots or screams of “help! Help!” they will break the door down. I’m sure there are other triggers, too.
