Tech giant Amazon has partnered with literally hundreds of police forces in the U.S. via its home surveillance subsidiary Ring, in some cases helping to orchestrate package theft sting operations with the goal of getting people arrested.

Now, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Prince George, B.C. has arrested a 37-year-old man using "surveillance technology" provided by Amazon in a package theft sting that involved company-provided boxes and products, and the help of select residents. Amazon "provided packaging, real products and surveillance technology to assist [officers] in identifying and arresting those persons responsible for these types of thefts," a recent press release stated.
