                Amazon Echo key witness in murder. Should be interesting how they go through this legally for whatever audio files were recorded.

                    OK so no real info in that post yet... it will be interesting to find out what information is obtainable for amazon?

                    I heard that Samsung TV's were constantly streaming the audio it hears to some third party.. that's why that POS is NOT connected to the internet. It was long enough to get the latest updates as of my install date, and unplugged after that!

                                Apparently it reads through any speech and only responds to specific commands. It could have recordings that are in a log somewhere rejected by it

                                  Very sad about this. She seemed like a great lady. Huge part of my childhood.
