Lol ya and all that video footage is owned by the company of those cameras, like Ring aka Amazon. They can access it at anytime and they can even give it to the police.
Edit: there are setups in which you can store your footage on your own drives. However, many people don’t know how to set it up so they use out of the box camera + app which stores all the data on the company servers.
I’ve been thinking of getting a camera setup, but all the popular stuff is cloud crap, and the best options seem to be Chinese crap that I wouldn’t trust on my network, so I’ll need a separate network for them.
It’s a pain! Why can’t I just get the popular hardware and just disable the stuff I don’t want?
It’s frustrating that nearly everything is either a security risk, a privacy risk, or a vendor lock-i, and often all three.

And Amazon definitely hasn’t ever provided police with any unrestricted access to whatever footage they want!
